HI all I am coming to you after having seen what was to me like some sort of gooffy procedure , from a Graphic Designer I was working with. I was waiting to sit with him to solve a presentation to client, and before that I just watched him opening some PS files, tweaked colors, crop, unsharp masking ,etc-regular stuff-, just to see him checking the Histogram of one of images, showing obvious signs of posterization.
Next, he just went to Channels and selected each individual channel, applied a rather small Gaussian Blur ( like 0.4) to each Channel, went back to the overall HIstogram and Voila!! No posterization. A new unsharp masking to override the softness introduced by the Blurr and this was it. The scene was repeated with all files with no major checking. I don't know if this is standard technique, I found it an "easy way out" to counter damage infringed to a digital file, and he said he just does it all the time. I am asking you all , because I found it hard to accept. Does this really not affect printing ( not Epsons), I mean real -4 colour- printing quality?? And what about colors?? Does this not introduce changes in colors?? Thanks for any info on this.
