Thats simples . Most photo editing programs have a great tool called "sharpen". The more upmarket programs the better the sharpen tool is - Photoshop CS3 (what I use) and you can set how much sharpening you want. Having said that, the auto sharpen on most basic photo editors will do an adequate job!

I know i am not truley following in the thread ritule but this is a good example of an "easily fixable" to practice on. In terms of cropping, tone and shadow adjustment and basics like contrast etc :-)

Thats really nice actually - very natural. My attempts looked a bit oversaturated.

Yip thats the idea keeping things nice and simple that was the idea with the image to give everyone a little practice perhaps with doing things.

But easiest and maybay most sympathetic is to open a duplicate layer, filter / other / high pass / set to approx 3.5 / blending option / overlay :-) simples

In photoshop or any other suite that has layers.

1; duplicate the layer.

2 on duplicate layer select filters / other / high pass and set slider to approx 3.5.

3 change blending mode to overlay/or soft light


4 flatten image


Sounds tricky but with the basic knowledge of editing thats needed for this is pretty easy really ?

The layer blending modes are in a menu bar on the layers palette (which is to the right of your screen). Its default mode is "normal" - click on the arrow and it will bring up other options.

Flatten image is in the main Layers menu bar - click on layers at the top and scroll right down - its near the bottom.

Only got 11 days left on the tiral version of photoshop 7 but think I will look for the version 3 or 4 if you can still get them
