[QUOTE="JonB, post: 34650, member: 3047"] While the picts may be a little soft - they don't look too bad. All digital files need a little sharpening anyway and I'd bet these would look fine if you just go back to the original and sharpen them. You'd be surprised how much sharpening the pros ALL use on their shots. (unless its glamour shots where they want to soften a female's image). I shoot in RAW, but you can set PS to open jpgs in ACR and edit the same way. We'd get too far into the weeds if i went through all of my basic editing steps but I bump up the "Clarity" slider about 10 to 15%, adjust the contrast a little then go to the Sharpening pane where i set the Amount slider to 75, Radius at 1.0, Detail to 50 and Masking to 90 to 95. That is the FIRST step in sharpening an image. All of the pros I know sharpen everything multiple times in small steps. too much too quick and its obvious, but incrementally - it can be a real life saver. Once the image is then opened in PS and AFTER all other editing has been done - the last steps I do is switch to LAB color space and select only the Luminance pane. This turns the image black and white (greyscale). I then sharpen only that channel to whatever degree and number of times i think incrementally it needs. Then I switch the image back to RGB color space and the color information helps to mask the edges where the tell-tale signs of sharpening (fringing) may show up. (especially if you're a little heavy handed on your first few attempts.) [/QUOTE]
