Now you have sharpened the image across the board, it’s time to apply it selectively. Choose a Radius and Threshold that look right for your shot Examine the preview and tweak the values to eliminate halos. The values will depend on the size of your image, but start with a Radius of 10 and a Threshold of 10. With the top layer in the group highlighted select Filter→Blur→Surface Blur. Now you can apply the sharpening by adding a Surface Blur to the top Layer. The image in the Preview Window will return to its original look. With the top Layer still selected, invert the layer by tapping Ctrl+I(or Command+I on a Mac). Then select the top layer in the group and change the Blending Mode to Vivid Light. Next, change the Blending Mode by clicking on where it says Normal in the Layers Panel. Select the Group you just created to select it. Rename the Group to Sharpen for easy identification later. If you’re on an older version of Photoshop, you’ll need to drag the two Layers into the new Group.
In Photoshop CC, clicking that New Group icon will move the two selected Layers into a new Group. Highlight both of these new Layers and click on the Create a new group icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel – that’s the icon that looks like a folder. The left side is the original and the right side is the selectively sharpened versionĬopy your background layer twice by pressing Ctrl+J (that’s Command+J on a Mac).
There are several ways to selectively sharpen an image, but this method gives you fine control over the location of the effect and produces a naturally sharp look that’s free from unsightly halos. When you are sharpening portraits, it is generally a good idea to apply the effect only where it is needed and not globally.
