i use the scott kelby way by using unsharp mask then going to edit, fade luminosity... is your way better??

thanks

[IamAndrewDucker]

@england2345able You can probably go back and forth all day on saying which one is actually BETTER. I prefer this way mostly because of how fast it is. I havent used your way so i cant really compair results but I just like the ease and results from the highpass.

thanks

So your choice is bether than the ''camera raw'' option?

hm..i will try it out thnx for this nice tut.

[IamAndrewDucker]

@Cha0sXXL oh yea, the RAW version just adjust the contrast in the shadows and it will work, but it doesnt look as clean, and you dont have the ability to apply a mask or change the opacity. thanks for watching!

Thanks alot Andrew, skipped the last 2 videos, because they didnt get straight to the point. I would love to know any tips you may have on how to save the image in the best possible format.

Saving an image as a transparent background - and trying to get the same PSD quality - all i can do is push for PNG 24?

To be used on the web. Any advice?

Painting out the character lines after sharpening is not a good thing.
