New Free Sharpening Action

[drisley]

After trying many of the great sharpening plugins available, I decided to try making one of my own (actions for Photoshop).
It provides selective edge sharpening without adding noise or affecting 'flat areas' (such as the sky).

Additionally I increases the contrast in dark, 'shadowy' areas of the images for a nice effect.
The sharpening is very mild, as I tend not to like oversharpening images.

It's best suited for 2-4 mpixel images. Anything smaller may not work well.

I did this just for fun (that is why it's free) and for my own needs. Give it a try and let me know what you like (or dislike, please be kind )

It's nothing ground breaking, but I think it does a nice job on most images.

Free? I see a $7 fee. Am I reading something wrong?

My email address is yharr@yahoo.com if you'd like to send me the free one I'd love to give it a whirl!

I must have gotten it while it was free. It *is* a good product, in my opinion, and I might be tempted to pay the seven bucks just to help support the product.

Edit: And as of 19 Feb, I just did.
