Hello all. This is my first post here. Thought I would start off sharing my latest creation with everyone. I have been working on this little Action Set for a while now. It has worked fairly well on the majority of the images I have run it on. It adds a slight contrast enhancement as well and will really bring out the details. Make sure image has already had noise reduction done on it as this action will also bring out noise and artifacts if they are present in the image. You will first need to download and install "Custom Filter" from [URL="http://"]http://[/URL]www.reindeergraphics.com/index.p···temid=57

Please share anything you try it on as well as comments and critiques. It will do all the sharpening and slight enhancement on a new layer so all you have to do then is adjust the opacity of that layer to your desired appearance.

Download my Action Set here:

Hope this set works for some of you.

    DigiTools Sharpening Action is Beta so the Beta is free yes. The Custom Filter from Reinddeer is also Free.

    It will be freeware. May not even go past the Beta. Depends what kind of response I get whether I will continue working on it. If people like it and find it useful I will continue working on it to try and further the project. Also, the Beta will never expire anyways :) No need for subtleness with me, just be straight forward, I will answer honestly, and do not mind and will not get offended by straight forwardness :)

    No worries! If you were selling, it'd be a different story. How about sharing some examples? :D

    I apologize for the misunderstanding and I have removed my post :D I shoulda known that Inspector Williams was hot on the case....Laughing.gif

    Thanks for your comments. Yep, Andy and I met on a Sony forum. We both had the IR bug and you can't beat those Sonys with nightshot for easy IR. I had the 707, 717 and 828. Andy had a 717 and the 828 and about 100 other cameras since lol3.gif

    As I said, welcome to Dgrin wave.gif

    Here is a before and after shot. 1 click 75% layer opacity, a bit much for this image but wanted to exaggerate the results.

    Hello Jamey

    Good looking results! I'm going to have to take the action for a spin.

    Hope it works out for you. I am trying to get a sharpening style that works to bring out details as well as a bit of contrast without causing the typical halos and such. Not quite there yet, but I am happy with the results so far. It will really bring out details, but will bring out any noise as well so make sure image is clean or noise reduction has already been done.
