Not every process has to spelled out or every user. Particularly when the process in question does a pretty good job when used correctly.
It's not a question of whether or not a blandly named Adobe process does a good job. It's a question of whether or not I (the user) understand what it does so I know exactly what process I am applying to the image. Further, understanding what it does makes it easier for me to, as you say, apply it correctly.Savageduck
You might like to know when and how to use sharpening in ACR/Camera RAWfilter(CRF) & LR5 including how to use masking in ACR/CRF & LR5.You might like to know when and how to use the *Shake Reduction* filter(also better used on a Smart Object adjustment layer).Eric Stevens
You might remember I have already posted a before and after example ofthe benefits of this on an image of Mosquito.Savageduck
Yup! That I remember....and there are times High Pass Filter sharpening can be useful.Eric Stevens
I'm a fan of High Pass sharpening. High Pass is one of the choicesoffered in Nikon NX2.Savageduck
...and is easily accessible in Photoshop to use on a plain vanillaadjustment layer, or as a Smart Filter, on a Smart Object layer.Filter->Other->High Pass< https://db.tt/aLfpx57l >Eric Stevens
I know that. But there is no mystery about what that function does:
it's built into the name.
Dam it, I'll have to turn the volume up next time I try it ;-)
