![]() The easiest way to make your image pop is tuning the colors, both Firestorm and Black Dragon can do that via the Exodus Post Processing stack (Color Correction and Tone Mapping). It's a lot of fiddling depending on what you define as "sharp" and "making it pop" but its more than worth it. If you want to make your images "sharp" and really pop, there are better ways with the inworld given tools. Sharpening IS visible and the only thing i see from sharpening is that it ruins the image, every single one. You show the very reason i said that in the first place. If you can't see the differences here, go to the tutorial page, scroll to the end and you'll see both versions of the images. They're really not that subtle, although pushing the sharpening too far would ruin the image, and that haloing would come into play. Differences can be seen between this and the image above. The image included here is the original before sharpening. It can make a big difference, although as with everything it depends on the image in question and how its used. You are definitely wrong however that sharpening an image is pointless. You're right though that in some instances, haloing can be caused when images are sharpened, and I'll be dealing with that in another tutorial soon. They're caused in this instance by enhancing the colours, which is something I will be investigating. ![]() ![]() The artifacts you've kindly ripped without persmission from the image I own are not created by sharpening the image. If however you prefer not to edit your images then keep doing that. Even if they're not thats no firm indication the images haven't been edited. Look at an image's Exif details on Flickr and there's a good chance Photoshop or Gimp will be mentioned. I think you'll find most SL photographers edit their images.
