Im familiar with High Pass & was told to put it to Vivid Light....I think on an already failry sharp image its great but when I apply to a blurrier image it looks aweful...to get the pic less blurry you have to apply it stronger & I usually set it it between .3-.7 or its waaay to much but with your technique i was able to put it at 1.1 and i actually didnt lower the opacity...worked solid. Looks 1000% times better. Ill post a before & after on my blog http://ashleydellingerphotography.blogspot.com/ THANK YOU SO MUCH!

After experimenting a lot, I found out that (for my Nikon lenses and camera) the radius of 4.0 is great. Then, I either choose Overlay (intermediate), Hard Light (intense) or Soft Light (low) as the blending mode according to needs of the current photo. Rarely, I need to apply the Opacity slider as it remains as the last resort. If I feel that the picture needs an extra sharpening, I re-apply the above method. Your explanation is great and confirmed my method. Thanks a lot. Bressan Steve:

If you just select the top layer, push Shift-Control-Alt-E simultaneously you will generate a new layer that is the merge of all the lower layers. Set the blend mode on the new merged layer to Overlay and then apply the HPF to the new layer. You can then adjust its opacity as above. Hope this helps if you want to keep all of your layers.

Compared it other sharpening techniques and I like this one better. Thank you! Great tip–I shoot dogs and just tried this on a print that was not very sharp and looks so much better.

I had never tried this method prior to today and I do like this better than what I was using prior and the changes to the image quality and or change in grain is not effected as near as how I use to do this. Thanks a million. Sincerely This did work well for myself..
