Sharpening

Sun Sep 13, 2009, 7:48 AM
OK, so I've been using my dSLR for 3 years now - only discovered the necessity of using RAW image format this year!

It's gets better - turns out that ALL images taken with a digicam are deliberately blurred, only very slightly, but easily noticable if you look close.
So when I found this out I did some testing with Irfanview (excellent free image software) and used the "sharpen" tool in the menu...

It was as if I'd been looking at my photos through a dirty lens for all this time, it really made the images look real. So I've just sharpened up some of my recent dA stuff and it looks much better for it.

So my advice to you is simple, don't rely on a good quality camera for good quality pictures - sharpen up and see your pictures come alive. ;)
