Sharpening with a cool mask effect

  • OK, who’s your daddy? Here’s how you can make some very cool adjustments (sharpening) and mask those changes to exactly where you want them to show. Are you ready to become a masking ninja? hehe…

    This technique adds some cool contrast to the image and really makes it stand out from the millions and gazillion ‘mediocre’ images out there! :)

    Shane,

    You keep talking about a Wacom Tablet, what size would you think would do the job for most of us?

    Shane: Again!, I can´t stop learning new resources to apply on my designs, really you are as we say in Argentina a “capo” (it means a great).
    Thanks a lot!
