USING PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 Cropping, resizing, retouching, and transforming photos 166 The Unsharp Mask filter adds contrast to reduce fuzziness. 1 In the Edit workspace, select an image, layer, or area. 2 Choose Enhance > Unsharp Mask. 3 Select the Preview option. 4 Set any of these options and click OK: Amount Determines how much to increase the contrast of pixels. For high-resolution printed images, an amount between 150% and 200% is usually best. Radius Specifies the number of pixels to sharpen around edges. For high-resolution images, a radius between 1 and 2 is usually recommended. A lower value sharpens only the edge pixels, whereas a higher value sharpens a wider band of pixels. This effect is much less noticeable in print than on-screen, because a 2-pixel radius represents a smaller area in a high-resolution printed image. Threshold Determines how far different pixels must be from the surrounding area before they are considered edge pixels and sharpened. To avoid introducing noise (in images with flesh tones, for example), experiment with Threshold values between 2 and 20. The default Threshold value (0) sharpens all pixels in the image. Transforming Rotate or flip an item You can rotate or flip a selection, a layer, or an entire image. Make sure to choose the correction command depending on the item you want to rotate or flip. 1 In the Edit workspace, select the photo, layer, selection, or shape you want to rotate or flip. 2 Choose Image > Rotate, and choose one of the following commands from the submenu: 90° Left, Layer 90° Left, or Selection 90° Left Rotates the photo, layer, or selection a quarter-turn counterclockwise. (Rotate Selection is only available when you have an active selection in an image.) 90° Right, Layer 90° Right, or Selection 90° Right Rotates the photo, layer, or selection a quarter-turn clockwise. 180°, Layer 180°, or Selection 180° Rotates the photo, layer, or selection a half-turn. Custom Rotates the item by the amount you specify. If you select this option, enter the number of degrees you want to rotate the item by, and the direction in which you want to rotate the item. Note: A positive number rotates the object clockwise, and a negative number rotates the object counterclockwise. When you are finished, click OK. Flip Horizontal, Flip Layer Horizontal, or Flip Selection Horizontal Flips the photo, layer, or selection horizontally. Flip Vertical, Flip Layer Vertical, or Flip Selection Vertical Flips the photo, layer, or selection vertically. Last updated 1/27/2011
