Sharpening
the last thing we have to do. Well, second last thing we have to do is sharp in this thing. So there's a bunch of different ways that we can do this. And, yes, we did do a little sharpening in adobe camera. But how I like to sharpen a lot is using smart sharpen. So I'm going to delete this color layer that we don't need because there's just that one patch there. Otherwise the color is identical. Don't need it. So now, in order to sharpen this does involve having to merge. Well, I like to merge it up into its own separate layer again. And the reason for that is at least sharpening is on its own. There, I can delete and re sharpen really, really easily. I don't care. So out of control shift e basically the whole side left side of your keyboard. I'm gonna go filter, sharpen, smart, sharpen and smart sharpen is pretty great. I don't need it to be quite that sharp. Turn the radio down a little bit. I want to make sure I'm not getting any halos from the sharpening. So we're getting a little ...
bit of it here. Um that I always try to be careful of. See here. Now let's go. Okay. And that's basically like, I don't do tons and tons and tons of like, super hardcore sharpening. The only time will do that is if I have, like, some really intense image in mind that I want to make, so it's very, very, very subtle to hear. So let's sharpened. So basically like it's really obvious here on the band. I'll do that in nice and close for you. So that's a sharpened version, and it's on sharpened version. Now, I did make a comment about there being a little bit of color correction here to do. And actually, now that we're on the sharpening their I might do it quickly because this is how my brain works sometimes. And I'm like, Oh, yeah, there's something here that was going to bug me. So this is pretty easy. We're just gonna grab a hue. Layers are going to create a new layer. I'm gonna put it on. Hugh, call this neck fix next fix. Nice. Make that at sea. Here we go. Okay. I'm gonna just sample a nicer color of his neck there, and I'm basically just painting down that little bit of color, so it's really subtle. I just didn't like that burned highlight there on his neck. It doesn't take too much to get that going. Nice color. There we go. It's nice and it's not distracting anymore that yellow burn part. And I don't mind that I did it on top of the sharpening layer because it's not an area that's gonna meet any sharpening. But, yeah, that's sharpening one on one and then, like a really quick emergency colour fix.

Great hands-on course. I love Renee's straight forward approach. This is the tool, this is what we are going doing with it and here's how to use it. For me it is the fastest and most practical way to learn. No fluff, no long-winded stories... just doing! In some of the other courses I viewed, I find myself skipping ahead waiting for them to get to the point. But this course has a great pace. I will certainly look for more from this teacher. Thank you.
