Using Two Unsharp Mask Layers to Sharpen in Photoshop Elements

by Erin on December 6, 2008

Use this method for sharpening photos in Photoshop Elements with a minimum of halos and noise:

  • Run the Unsharp Mask using moderate settings
  • Duplicate the Layer and apply the Unsharp Mask again, possibly with lower settings
  • If some areas are being over-sharpened, apply a mask to the second Unsharp layer and apply sharpening only to areas that need it.

Sources of free layer masks for Photoshop Elements are in the Free Actions section of my Best Resources page.

Previous Sharpening Method:  Unsharp Mask
