Photoshop Tip: The greatness of “unsharpening” Images
April 27, 2006 – 7:14 pm | by J. Rodriguez
When you’re editing an image to remove stuff like age wrinkles, it’s just better all around if you work with an image that hasn’t been sharpened. Sharpening increases contrast along edges in an image — edges much like, well, wrinkles. This increase in contrast makes these features even more prominent — and therefore more difficult to excise. This is one of many reasons not to apply sharpening to your original image. (If you absolutely must sharpen an image, be sure to save an unsharpened version that you can use later for editing purposes if you have to make some adjustments.) .
