thank you for this tutorial. it is actually really, really good. the only thing i would suggest is bit more clear of where you went to do what. you were thorough towards the middle and end, but at the beginning there were moments when i had to rewind because i couldn't keep up! otherwise, good job!

@SaFtheD Thanks for the constructive feedback :)

2 questions, 1st, can this be done with cartoon, and other art work, 2nd question,whats happing here, does the soft were predict more complex patterns to produce a sharper image?, how is sharper image achieved from pixels that don’t exist?

[HiroKun10]

@35823582 1: Well yeah it should but the improvement wont be as good as using a real image, you may have to adapt a few of the steps but the whole High Pass/ and Adjustments should work on any image.

2: The Adjustments are self explanatory Levels changes the image levels from RGB etc. But the whole High Pass filter is different, the fliter can calculate any image and find ALL edges in the image and it just redefines it more,it doesnt find new pixels it just redifines the exisiting areas.

@extensionIN thanks, you made it easier :)

Wow, thank you so much!

May I suggest easier : duplicate image ->high-pass at 7.0->overlay instead of hard light and play with transparency. Hard light is rather efficient for dark areas you want to "crisp", but for her face or light areas in general, id' go with a simple overlay.
