Mike and other readers,
Sharpening in Lab mode is difficult in P.S.E 4.0, then there is no Lab mode in p.S. E. 4.0
Till now, I do it on a difficult way in Glimp 2.2.
But till a couple of weeks I have also the effect plugins from The hidden power of P.S.E 4.0 written by Richard Lynch.
In there is a LAB mode. A( lumin) and B( color)
They don't work automatically. I think it is , because my P.S.E. 4.0 is in dutch.
But fortunately the way it worked is described in the book and I can do it with hand.
And indeed I get some sort of Luminosity.
How I must assemble again a color picture , I don't know yet.
But the strange thing is compared with the "L" from Curvemeister , there is a difference.
Mike, can you explain to me why.?
The principle how Richard does , is to make a layer of 50 % gray what is extracted of the original. ( I think)
On the end, the goal is to sharpen in Lab mode in P.S.E. 4.0. and not Gimp 2.2.
