Sharpening



Leuku's pictures have only had the minimum sharpening applied to them. This allows our customers to manipulate and modify the picture before applying the final sharpening.



Final sharpening depends entirely on the printing technique and should be applied only when the picture is absolutely ready in the correct size and resolution and in most cases even converted to CMYK.



Skilled professionals can also apply specific degrees of sharpening in different areas of a picture to get the most from the image.



 





           Original                                Badly sharpened                       Optimal sharpening



Sharpening is the last, most complicated and difficult task in image preparation. Here are some basic guidelines.



1. Only apply sharpening once as a final step once the image is the correct resolution and dimensions for final output.



2. In the case of Web Design or Newspaper work apply sharpening only before saving files as JPG.



3. It is 'best practice' to apply the sharpening to a duplicate layer in Photoshop so that problems can be easily spotted and corrected.
