Topic: Sharpening ?

[Greg Groess]

Hey Chris,
My Firefox says that the page requires a missing plugin. 
Then it says there is no acceptable plugin to be found.

Works in IE7 but crashes on exit.

Derek, could you spare a minute and confirm that http://www.broadhurst-family.co.uk/Blending/InteractiveBlending.htm also fails under firefox

Yes, as Greg says, it asks for a plugin. I'm not sure what it's after. Ignoring that, most of the buttons are inactive.

Chris,I took one of your images and after a SHN in CM,tried the few sharpening techniques I know on it.The one I went with was the USM at 20 amount and radius 10(I tried 20) The improvement was to the drape of the clothing,almost 3-D.Yes,there is a halo behind the woman in the red dress and there was a color shift after sharpening but I think the picture has a certain verve.GregM

Derek, I think I have identified the javascript problem and altered it for just this page
http://www.broadhurst-family.co.uk/lefteye/MainPages/statue_ni.htm#
Can you see if it works, in which case I'll change the others as well

Yes, that now works!

Hi, I've changed all the sharpening pages for FireFox if you want to compare them

Chris, thank you so much for this. I'm starting to to see more light about blending and looking so much forward to the rest, esp on how the "blend-if" story works.
Kind regards

Kind of you to say so Ganna, I found it very useful too - being able to quickly switch between blends and control the Opacity.  I thought I had included all the important ones for us photo folks, but now ones like Linear & Vivid Light are beginning to be used by people, but understanding what is exactly happening is a little much for my old grey cells!

Hope you are finding the course useful - it took me 3 goes at it before I begun to feel a little comfortable (but then only rgb & lab)

All the best
Chris
