Digital Night 15th January 2008

[John]

Tonight's programme will be:

Sharpening: Unsharp mask, sharpening using Lab Mode and "Sharpen-o-Matic", a complex but very effective technique from my fellow pentax User Moderator Mattmatic.

Theo will also discuss "Actions", which could well be the way to set up "Sharpen-o-Matic"!

[John]

Following on from tonight's subject, if you go to http://www.pentaxuser.co.uk find the forum and do a search for sharpen-o-matic then the required thread will be at the bottom of the list.

The link for the Actions set for the technique is http://www.photon.me.uk/PS/mattmaticstools20051123.zip

The link for the ePHOTOzine article is http://www.ephotozine.com/techniques/vi ... ?recid=367

Due acknowledgement is made to Matthew Page ("Mattmatic") who developed the technique.

I'd also like to thanks Theo for his excellent presentation on Actions tonight. Cheers, Theo!

Just a brief thank you to John & Theo for the presentation last night.(Tuesday 15th Jan.) I found it to be absolutely enthralling. Keep up the good work. Perhaps in the fullness of time we could have a back to basics night. For the computer semi literate. (me) Thanks again, Alan.

There's a vast amount of useful photoshop actions there to be download with text or pdf files to explain them.
