4 x 4. I’m always thankful when you PET guys and gals explain features and controls in PSE.
Seeing this tutorial makes me wonder how much more about PSE there is that I don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, nothing you care to discuss would be irrelevant or too trivial.
Thanks, again.

Fantastic. This has just solved one of my nagging issues. I never quite knew how to make the most of the Sharpening tools, so this has opened up a whole new experience for me. So, without further ado, it is down to work. Thanks guys, love your tutes.

Can you use this technique with a JPEG in ACR? Or is this for RAW files only?

Hi Charlie-
Yep, you sure can. It works the same way on JPEGs as well.

Can you use the RAW tools on tif files?

Yes, you can – just follow the standard File > Open As, click on the TIF file, then choose Camera Raw from the format popup.
