What is the best way to sharpen using both Lightroom_4 and Photoshop CS6?

I want to learn the best way to sharpen various subjects.  I have Martin Evening's latest Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 books, but no mention of which methods are better,  or better for which subjects/conditions.  It seems that Camera Raw and Lightroom are the same, so I'm tempted to just do it all in Lightroom with the Develop module Detail panel, and the adjustment brush for local sharpening. But can I be doing more with Photoshop CS6, or Lightroom and Photoshop together?

Lightroom and Photoshop have different capabilities.  Photoshop power lies in layers so sharpening in Photoshop is best done using a sharpening layer which can be blended and masked into layers below.  Lightroom is more a image developer then and editor and does not have layer support.  Both Lightroom and Photoshop use Adobe RAW conversion engine to develop images.  Adobe RAW Conversion Engine has very good sharpening and noise reduction capabilities. Sharpening and Noise reduction is more or less a balancing act to much sharpening enhances noise to much noise reducing loose details and add softness.  Though both Photoshop and Lightroom use the same Adobe RAW conversion engine they use different user interfaces when they use Adobe RAW conversion engine.  Lightroom also lacks Layer support.

  • What's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax

    what's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax.

    The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
    In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
    Let me put this into perspective..
    From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
    Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
    Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
    The USA has its OWN firmware
    and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
    Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
    That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
    If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
    What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
    Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
    I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
    For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
    Crazy and very very irritating

  • What's the best way to set up my iPad and iPhone through I tunes

    I have an iPad and now an iPhone what's the best way to sync these in iTunes I'm assuming I'll use the same account and as such the same music aps etcwill sync on both devices? Also it is best to back up to the cloud and would this allows instant transfer of data between device ie pictures? Thanks

    You can use the same Apple ID, iTunes will still be able to tell them apart. If both are on IOS 5.x, you can use backup from the iCloud. To have pictures across all you devices, switch Photo Stream to ON.
    Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    (Note: Photos that are already in Photo Library will not stream, only those you take after Photo Stream is switched on)

  • What is the best way to clean up your mac and make it faster and run to an optimum level?

    Hi Everyone, Hope all is well
    Iv been running my mac pro for a long time now, its a Mac pro, 2x 2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Ram
    Over time now it has become slower, at the moment its still running fine but im sure over time it has probabally collected unwanted data etc. i just dont want it to become a problem as its only going to be used more and more... i now notice that some of the regular programs which i open do take a little while longer to open and i sometimes see that little round Mac loading the sign (the round multicolor wheel).., is there a way to clean the mac up? so that it can run more smoothly and just a better over all feel.,,, the machine is still running beautifully but its time i give it more care and revive it a little more..
    What are the best ways to do this, i dont trust any of these non apple based products which claim they can clean ur Mac etc.
    Any solutaion and advice that u guys can give would be great and i would be very thankful
    Thanks in advance

    For immediate speed improvements, upgrade to a Solid State Drive and upgrade your conventional hard drives to new ones, because the newer ones are faster at reading and writing than the ones from 5 years ago.
    By Re-installing your OS onto a solid state drive, the system will boot much faster, and your programs will launch much faster.
    I use a small SSD (only 60GB) which contains only OS X and all my apps.  All of my personal files are on the large mechanical hard drive.  If you still use the drive that shipped with the Mac, then it might be a good idea to replace it.
    Depending on what kind of work you do, then additional RAM will help.  Swapping CPUs should only be done if you are really in need of the improvements they would bring. 
    You appear to have the 2009 dual-CPU Mac Pro, which is the most challenging model to swap CPUs into.

  • What is the best way of reading a browser cookie and writing to sessionbean

    Hi,
    So far I have happily written a cookie in the visting browser and happily can display with a browser using a servlet println etc
    But what is the best way to take that value and put it into say getSessionBean1().setCookieValue("Cookievalue");
    I was thinking on the lines of calling a forward from the servlet "nexpage?cookievalue=stringetc".... or is there some nicer way?
    Thanks
    James

    In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
    public void createcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
    userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
    userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
    resp.addCookie(userCookie);
    return null;
    public String readcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
    Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
    if (cookiemap != null) {
    Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
    return cookievalue;
    For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.

  • What's the best way to copy a big poster and print it out?

    I'm doing a big art project (around 5ft by 5ft), where I'm going to draw stuff out by hand, and would like to make a copy of that project by scanning it into the computer, or taking high-res photos of the project and compiling them together in the computer, and then printing the image out at that size, or bigger. So, I will have the original, 5x5ft, and a printed copy. 
    What's the best way of doing this?
    I hear that vector images are ideal for this, so is Illustrator recommended for this?
    I know it's a vector graphics program, but is there any way I can take a bitmap image from a scan or photo, and somehow turn it into a vector? If this is not possible, what recommendations would you have?
    I have Illustrator CS2.

    Take the photo in one shot by a camera with 24MP, e.g.
    http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3x.htm
    This should be sufficient for a poster reproduction 5ft square
    as a raster image.
    For vectorizing one doesn't need high resolution (it's often
    recommended to blur the source image).
    Perspective and lens corrections can be applied by Photoshop,
    but the lighting should be well balanced.
    Barrel distortion by wide angle lens is really no problem.
    Plenty examples:
    All photos here were taken without tripod by a 170 Euro camera.
    http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/andalusien13032010.pdf
    Especially see p.20, a photo (with flash) of an exhibition photo,
    viewing direction not orthogonal to the object, then perspectively
    and lens-distortion corrected.
    (The PDF shows the photos heavily downsampled).

  • What is the best way to preorder multiple iPhone 6s and take advantage of the $200 trade in deal?

    Here's my scenario.
    Currently: I have 2 iPhone 4 and 1 iPhone 4S
    Plan: Upgrade all three to iPhone 6 Plus (16GB)
    What is the best way to do the $200 trade in deal for each of the old phone?
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/trade_in_program.html#iPhone Trade-in Promotion
    1. When I preorder at 12:01 AM do I have to pay $300 or $100 for each?
    2. Do I have to send the old iPhones first in order to get the $200 gift cards?
    What should I do to make sure each preorder can be discounted?

        Vice_Actual,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are super excited about the launch of the new iPhone. In order to get the trade in deal you would need to trade in the device and then you would get a Verizon Wireless gift card mailed out to you. If you pay for the devices with a credit card on pre-order the card will not be charged until the devices are shipped.

  • What is the best font to be used in graphs and tables?

    I want to know what is the best font (or the most used) for discoverer10g graphs and tables.
    I used Arial, Dialog, Veranda, 7, 8, 9 but it seems that there is a space between letters especially on the graph. I’m looking for a font that does not have this space between letters.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • What's the best way to be able to access and work on files between new iMacs?

    One is used in office downstairs and other is for personal. We want to be able access office documents and work on them upstairs.

    There really is no best way, without knowing what you want to do more in-depth it's difficult to recommend.  You can turn on iCloud on both machines, you can use Sharing on both and/or  you can use a Dropbox account. Please explain in-depth what kind of files you will be sharing and what you are thinking of.

  • What is the best way to create VR movies from a PhotoShop panorama? QTPro?

    I found that I have the most success making panoramas using PhotoShop rather than dedicated panorama programs like Panorama Maker. Now that I made a panorama I like in PhotoShop can I use Quicktime Pro to turn it into a VR that someone can navigate? I was hoping that PhotoShop could handle the export to VR but it apparently can do that.

    Now that I made a panorama I like in PhotoShop can I use Quicktime Pro to turn it into a VR that someone can navigate? I was hoping that PhotoShop could handle the export to VR but it apparently can do that.
    I used PTMac under Leopard on my PPC G5. Not sure if it is still around but here is a sample file for MY BACK YARD. However, it is a dedicated app taking you directly from photos to VR movie or Panoramic views.

  • What is the best 802.11G router for both B and G laptops?

    I have an older laptop with 802.11B wireless.  This is a work provided computer, so I can not make any mods.  I have a personal one that is G.  I read that the WRT54GS does not play well with B's and the WRT54G has connection problems.  I don't know if I capable of doing the flash that I keep reading about.  Did Version 8 fix any of the problems?  What about the GX, GX2 or GX4?
    Thanks

    well WRT54GS should work with 802.11B, if you go for WRT54G router then i would suggest you to buy a version WRT54Gv6...

  • What are the best ways to recycle used Apple products?

    I currently have a iPhone 4 (32 GB, Black) and a Macbook Pro (Mid-2009, 2.53 GHz, 250 GB storage, 4 GB memory) that I don't use anymore. I'm looking into recycling them or selling them but I'm not sure about:
    a) What the products are worth - the iPhone looks brand new and the Macbook Pro is in fair condition but needs a battery replacement
    b) Which recycling programs to go with - Apple's PowerON program has shady reviews and I'm not sure whether to trust sites like 'gazelle'
    If anyone has any advice on recycling or selling their Apple products, let me know. Thanks!

    jess_ek,
    To get an idea of what the products are worth, take a look at recent winning bids on online auction sites for identical items to yours in similar condition.
    If you prefer to recycle rather than to sell, you could donate them to iFixit, which will make maximum use of their parts to help keep other iPhones and MacBook Pros running. If you’d prefer to sell them, you could offer them as individual lots on online auction sites, or advertise them for sale on online classified ad sites.

  • What is the best way to scan using an HP All-in-One? (HP Office Jet 6210)

    I have a HP 6210 that I would like to use to scan into my Mac. When I needed to print to HP printers, I realized that I did not need additional drivers and could use CUPS (as I understand Linux printing stuff).
    Is there any way to scan without installing HP software? I am concerned about ending up with bloated software that consumes my CPU even when I do not need it. I know I am being suspicious even before installing the software linked to below, but then with HP I have had bad bloated software experiences.
    I hope some Mac experts know the answer
    (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-57691-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=421991)

    This doesn't answer your question exactly, but still. I just got a HP J6480 all-in-one, and installed the HP software. I have to say that I'm impressed with the software. Previously, I have been very unhappy with HP software (for Windows) to the point of not wanting to buy HP again, but this software just works, and it does not use CPU when not in use. So, my recommendation would be to just install the HP software (probably similar to that of the J6480).
