Sharpening - PS

'kay hi, I'm new to the community...and LJ in general so chances are, I'm going to mess this up.

Here's another way to sharpen images. I'm finding it easier than the sharpen tool.





Here's the picture:



Yay. Deryck.
Yes, you're probably all thinking "... @ where his hands are."
Anyway...

1. Duplicate the base.
2. On the duplicate, go to Filter >> Other >> High Pass.
3. Change the radius depending on how blurred your image is and click OK. Mine wasn't too bad, so I set it to 5.
4. Change the layer to Hard Light.
5. Lower opacity to 30%.
6. Merge both layers together.

And yay, you're done.







Also, first tutorial. I'm a noob at everything. =O
