TIPS
Attention!
The Smart Sharpen filter applies only to one layer. If
you have made other adjustment layers, you must
merge them before applying the sharpening. Press
Ô+Option+Shift+E (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E). The
adjustment layers and the Background layers merge in
the new layer. All the adjustment layers, Background
copy or Layer 1, and original Background layers
remain unchanged.
Did You Know?
Always view the image at 100% magnification when
you use a sharpening filter to get the most accurate
view on-screen of your changes. Still, the amount of
detail visible in a print may be slightly different than
what you see on the screen. The amount of detail can
vary depending on the type of printer and paper used.
