Thank you. Another really neat way to sharpen your pictures is using the "High Pass" filter. After you've done all your smoothing and blending and liquifying and any other fixing of your picture, make a new layer (Control+J) and go Filters>Other>High Pass and set the slider to 4 pixels. The result will be grey and weird looking but watch what happens when you set the blending mode to "Overlay". And because it is on its own layer you can erase any parts you don't want sharpened. Fantastic article Raven. Thank you.

I will bookmark this as I fumble through the transisiont from Paint Shop Pro to Photoshop. @Cajsa thank you so much for that tip I was looking for that menu option the other day and could not find it.

You do have to turn rendering back on when you want to move.

To which I reply - DOH! I so should have thought of that :) Great comment. Shared here for all. :) This in via plurk from Caroline Apollo:
