This brush is really fabulous! Just cloned over other lettering to reconstruct the bad letters. If this does not smooth out the lines enough, just increase the Flow a little. In the Options Bar, the brush has an Opacity 100% and a Flow of 9% вЂ“ be sure to turn on the Airbrush вЂ“ also turn on Aligned and Sample Current & Below. It is a very simple brush too вЂ“ Size 100 pixels, Spacing and Hardness 25% and Build-up checked in the Brush Settings Panel. To fix that, another clone brush was used вЂ“ one I call Soft Build up Clone by Pratik Naik, a famous retoucher. It does a pretty good of job but is a little choppy looking where the strokes stop. For cloning, a brush from PS Guru Aaron Nace that is just a 30-pixel round brush set to 25% Spacing and 28% Hardness вЂ“ the Options Bar was set to 100% Opacity and 80% Flow, Aligned checked and Sample Current & Below. Therefore, a lot of clone stamping and painting was done on this image. The biggest problem was all the spectral reflections on the sign вЂ“ totally blocked out some of the lettering. It really helped to have Topaz Sharpen AI (see sidebar for website link) on this one вЂ“ use it as a first step almost on every RAW image. Augustine, Florida вЂ“ excellent chocolate! This image was pretty tricky to do as that little train was moving all over the place and it was in front of the food sign to make it even harder.

Had fun post-processing this image from KilwinвЂ™s Chocolate Shop in St. It took a while, but well worth effortвЂ¦вЂ¦Digital Lady Syd Then a Color Lookup Adjustment Layer and two Levels Adjustment Layers (one for a vignette) were used to finish up. Not sure what the issue is here! Used Viveza to sharpen up photo and the new Spectrum Neo for the lighting-love the relight effect in this filter. I had to reload PS2021 as the pins were not showing for these filters on my computer in PS2022. On a duplicate stamped layer placed underneath the subject layer, the Tilt Shift Filter in the Blur Gallery was applied to smooth out the background. On a stamped layer the Iguana was selected using a layer mask. Topaz Sharpen AI was tried on a stamped layer, but some bad haloing appeared so this filter was removed. A black layer mask was added to the top image and just the parts needing to be sharper were added painted back in. Two images had to be stacked and aligned in Photoshop as some parts were more in focus in one image than the another. It took a lot of manipulating to get this image post-processed, but I really like the final results. Avoid displaying the image at 100% during preview, otherwise risk long preprocessing times, too.Love how this beautiful Iguana looks up close вЂ“ he lives at the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida and I think it may be a juvenile since it was so colorful. Processing time can be long, depending on the parameters selected. The results were consistently more than just good вЂ“ the results are remarkable in that experienced users are able to recognize the ways in which Sharpen AI is superior to traditional unsharp masks and filters. You can choose from four views: Single, Split View (with slider), Side-by-Side or Comparison (4 up). Operation is simple and the interface is extremely easy to use. We used Topaz Sharpen AI Version 4 as a Photoshop and Lightroom plug-in. Topaz Labs recommends this option should be used instead of traditional sharpening on finely detailed features like eyes, feathers, leaves, and stars. The Too Soft sharpening model works best to give already-good images a little extra sharpness without diminishing other elements of high quality. It canвЂ™t work miracles on images that are just fuzzy blobs, but it can save many images that are otherwise unpleasant. The Out of Focus sharpening model reduces lens blur caused by missed focus. Note that conventional Image Stabilization combats the negative effects of camera shake, but IS cannot correct for subject movement. Motion Blur sharpening model reduces the softness caused by camera or subject movement. Even if you are a superhero who never shoots out-of-focus images, weвЂ™re sure that occasionally the subject move, as shown here.
