Before After Sharpening halos before LBHR After LBHR I designed the LBHR Sharpening Action with one purpose in mind: To produce sharp, halo-free, high quality pictures from straight-out-of-the-camera images with minimum additional input & effort on the part of the photographer. Using normally sharpened Jpegs straight from the camera plus the LBHR sharpening action in Photoshop CS2 has cut my photo processing time down to about one-third of the time it took when I processed every picture via Raw conversion. I’m now using Jpegs as primary, Raw as backup & archive files. Simply put, using normal in-camera sharpening, the LBHR Action produces the quality of sharpness that I think the camera should have done in the first place. Natural, high quality filmlike sharpness without an overprocessed look. Highlights: * LBHR works equally well on Jpeg, Tiff, or Raw converted files. * Requires Adobe Photoshop 5, 6, 7, CS, or CS2. (Windows or Mac). * Single keystroke sharpening action requires no additional input*. *Advanced Photoshop users can easily modify sharpening input values. * LBHR has been personally tested on full-sized images taken with normal in-camera sharpening from Nikon.
