On 0:12 you do the composite layer.

What I do I simply:

Select all/ copy merge/ paste.

Voilá. I have a new layer with all the visible features of them all.

Is it ok? Does the same job?

What do you think?

@tonetta1234 Ablolutely Yes, end result is the same. Photoshop allows several ways to do a task.

but i didnt understand why u used the gaussian blur on the sharpening group because this is a sharpening and we dont want to blur the lines, contrasts. srry for my posibly bad english :D

[photoshopmama]

We're not blurring a regular color pixel layer, we're blurring an image layer that has had the hipass filter applied which breaks it down into areas of lighter and darker edges, using the blur defines the width of those edges, which when put in one of the contrast blending modes gives the underlying image the appearance of being sharper by bumping the edge contrast.

hi mama , what's the different betwenn filter sharpen and hiss pass - them overlay?????

[photoshopmama]

Just the method, USM has a threshold, HighPass can be masked. So it's up to you. USM can cause color halos, highpass doesn't, but you can always change the usm blend mode to luminosity to cancel color halos. I use both at differents times.
