Local Contrast Enhancement

[gmitchel]

A thread on DPReview.com stimulated me to make Local Contrast Enhancement the "Tip of the Week" on my site.

LCE is a technique that Michael Reichmann describes and credits to Thomas Knoll. A low setting for Amount and a high setting for Radius can result in a perceived increase in image contrast along the edges of finer details.

The effect is more subtle than 'WOW!,' but it sure can improve your images.

Feel free to take a look . . .

I use this trick often..

I have an action set up to do a 50 radius USM for those images that will benifit.

It is a great trick.
