Yes, applying contrast selectively, but what I really meant was using the Lr Clarity slider, possibly using the adj brush. If you have the Nik plugins you can use the Structure slider in Viveza, applying it to specific things with the Control Points. Or the Detail Extractor and/or the Pro Contrast filter in Color Efex Pro. Or in Ps you can use the Unsharp Mask with a large Radius (20+) and smaller Amount (20-60) values. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
