Lightroom sharpening.

Thank you for your efforts Widowmaker, I appreciate your time. English IS my first language, although looking at some of my questions & descriptions (what do you mean you agree Mike!) you would be forgiven for assuming otherwise!!

I'm not back in front of my work machine till Monday, so will take a better look then.

Thanks again.

TJ

TJ, I will give it a go. In Kelby's book, the whole process of creating the lab sharpening action, is located on page 374-379. After you have created the action, you will have to make this action a droplet. Go to File-Automate-Create Droplet (in Photoshop CS2, NOT lightroom). In the "destination" option, browse your computer, until you find where lightroom is located. Then find the folder within lightroom, which is called "Export actions". Open this folder, and save the droplet in there, named "lab sharpening". And that's it. The next time you want to export a photo from lightroom, adding the lab sharpening technique, just go to the export window, and select "lab sharpening" in the bottom dialog, asking you what to do once your photo is exported.
I hope this made some sense, english is not my native language.......

Thanks for the tip!

Your welcome jwtex! Just glad if someone could understand what I tried to explain.

okay when i do these instructions, and then actually try to do the action it opens cs3 and then it begins to apply my action (putting my name at the bottom of the photo) i click save, but it doesnt save with the name what happened?

Not one mention of the masking function when sharpening?

You're probably missing the save in the action and the override in the droplet.
