Are You Really Seeing Your Sharpening?

 

When you apply sharpening to your image using the Unsharp Mask filter (under Filter, choose Sharpen), make certain that when you apply it, you’re viewing the image at 100% size. Most other views won’t give you an accurate view of how the sharpening is really affecting the image. To make sure you’re viewing at 100%, just double-click the Zoom tool in the Toolbox.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
