Here's the image after you've added the
edge darkening, and you can see how it

Step 12:
At this point, it's time to sharpen (I usu-

Filter menu, under Sharpen, and choose
Unsharp Mask
. Enter 90% for Amount,
set the Radius to 1.3, and set the Thresh-
old to 3 (more on sharpening, starting
back on page 328). This is some really
punchy sharpening (note the Radius
being increased past 1), but an image
like this (and most landscape images),
can really take a lot of sharpening and
they look great. Go ahead and click OK.
