Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Sharpening is a crucial part of the image-editing process. Not only does it allow you to crisp up details and enhance the important areas of an image, it also lets you optimise the image for specific types of output, such as a particular print size or for viewing on screen. Likewise, noise reduction is another important step for images captured with a high ISO. With the right noise-reduction techniques, you needn\u2019t worry about pushing your camera\u2019s ISO to its upper reaches.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to choosing your sharpening and noise-reduction tools there are plenty of options out there, from the powerful Detail Panel in Lightroom (and identical panel in Photoshop\u2019s Camera Raw) to the advanced noise-crunching algorithms in DxO PhotoLab or the excellent sharpening controls in Affinity Photo. There\u2019s also the intriguing new \u2018Enhance Details\u2019 command in Lightroom and Photoshop. Here,\u00a0 we\u2019ll explore some of the best tools and techniques that these apps have to offer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Output sharpening in Lightroom<\/h2>\n<p>Lightroom\u2019s Export Dialog (as well as the similar options in Camera Raw\u2019s Save dialog) offers a set of simple Output Sharpening controls that, while seemingly basic, can be very powerful. The level of sharpening applied will vary depending on the resolution of the image. So if, for example, you\u2019ve chosen to export a 12x8in print at 300dpi, then the Output Sharpening controls will be tailored towards that specific size. You can choose from three strength settings, and set whether the image is intended to be presented on-screen or as a matt\/glossy print. Of course, if you want finer control over your output sharpening then you can open the image into Photoshop instead for further edits.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127147&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127147 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Enhance-details-feature.jpg\" alt=\"Enhance details feature\" width=\"800\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Enhance-details-feature.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Enhance-details-feature.jpg?resize=300,164 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Enhance-details-feature.jpg?resize=630,343 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Enhance-details-feature.jpg?resize=562,306 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>The new Enhance Details feature<\/h2>\n<p>Recently announced as an update to Lightroom and Camera Raw, the \u2018Enhance Details\u2019 command employs Adobe\u2019s machine-learning tool (named Adobe Sensei) to intelligently analyse image content. In doing so it addresses a range of common problems that occur during the demosaicing process that all raw images go through. One of the biggest issues with demosaicing occurs when small details are close to the resolution limit of the sensor, resulting either in a jumble of colours or moir\u00e9 patterning. As a result of using Enhance Details, you\u2019ll see more accurate rendering of edges and fine details with fewer artefacts and less moire.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, the Enhance Details feature won\u2019t magically make soft images sharp or result in perfectly detailed photographs \u2013 in fact, for many images the change is barely noticeable. But it can lead to greater fine detail, so it\u2019s useful if you need to make large prints or you need to crop the image. To use the feature, go to the top-left menu in Camera Raw. If in Lightroom, either go to Photo&gt;Enhance Details or right-click the image to access the command.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127155&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127155 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sharpening-Luminar-3.jpg\" alt=\"Sharpening Luminar 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Sharpening-Luminar-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Sharpening-Luminar-3.jpg?resize=300,167 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Sharpening-Luminar-3.jpg?resize=630,350 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Sharpening-Luminar-3.jpg?resize=562,312 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Sharpening in Luminar 3<\/h2>\n<p>Luminar 3 offers an exceptional package of sharpening and noise-reduction tools, coupled with detail-enhancing features that work especially well for landscapes. Like all Luminar edits, Sharpening is applied as an editable filter. The Sharpening Amount and Radius sliders work in a similar way to those in Lightroom: Amount controls the strength of the change in edge contrast, while Radius determines the distance from the edge in which the contrast change occurs. Similarly, the Denoise filter tackles Luminance and colour noise.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best features in Luminar 3 is the option to apply all filters \u2013 including sharpening and noise reduction \u2013 locally, so you can selectively enhance parts of the image while leaving other areas untouched. Like most photo editors, the selective tools include a brush, linear gradient and radial filter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127151&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127151 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Noise-reduction-Affinity.jpg\" alt=\"Noise reduction Affinity\" width=\"800\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Noise-reduction-Affinity.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Noise-reduction-Affinity.jpg?resize=300,192 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Noise-reduction-Affinity.jpg?resize=626,400 626w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/Noise-reduction-Affinity.jpg?resize=562,359 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Noise reduction and addition in Affinity<\/h2>\n<p>The noise-reduction controls in Affinity Photo will be broadly similar to those found in Lightroom and Camera Raw. There\u2019s a Luminance slider for tackling grainy noise and a Color slider for chroma noise (by default, this is set to 40). Alongside these is a useful Noise Addition command that adds in uniform gaussian noise. Sometimes this can give the image a more refined feel, especially after applying heavy noise reduction; it\u2019s useful if you want to achieve a filmic look. There are also two intriguing \u2018Extreme\u2019 checkboxes that allow you to push the noise reduction beyond 100% all the way to 500%. This could be useful for extremely high-ISO photos above 6400.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127146&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127146 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DxO-Photolab-2-noise-reduction.jpg\" alt=\"DxO Photolab 2 noise-reduction\" width=\"800\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/DxO-Photolab-2-noise-reduction.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/DxO-Photolab-2-noise-reduction.jpg?resize=300,178 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/DxO-Photolab-2-noise-reduction.jpg?resize=630,373 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/DxO-Photolab-2-noise-reduction.jpg?resize=562,333 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>DxO PhotoLab 2\u2019s amazing noise-reduction tool<\/h2>\n<p>Long renowned for its noise-reducing technology and extensive lens database, DxO offers a range of powerful raw-editing tools in the latest version of PhotoLab (previously known as Optics Pro). The jewel in the crown here is PRIME Noise Reduction (available in the PhotoLab 2 Elite edition). It\u2019s arguably the best noise-reduction tool you can get in any software currently. If you regularly shoot at high ISOs or at night, the results of using the PRIME noise tool \u2013 which intelligently distinguishes between noise and fine details \u2013 can be astonishingly good. The only downside is that it takes slightly longer \u2013 up to several minutes \u2013 to process the image upon exporting it, but that\u2019s a small price to pay for noise reduction this refined.<\/p>\n<p>PhotoLab 2 has another ace up its sleeve when it comes to image sharpness. The editor can call upon DxO\u2019s extensive database of lens\/camera combinations and their associated pitfalls. As such, every image is automatically optimised to correct for lens softness, so you might find that the image looks sharper before you even begin making edits.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127148&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127148 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/High-pass-sharpening-Affinity.jpg\" alt=\"High pass sharpening Affinity\" width=\"800\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/High-pass-sharpening-Affinity.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/High-pass-sharpening-Affinity.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/High-pass-sharpening-Affinity.jpg?resize=630,383 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/High-pass-sharpening-Affinity.jpg?resize=562,341 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Refined High Pass sharpening<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most popular techniques for sharpening details involves using the High Pass filter. It\u2019s especially effective when an image has out-of- focus areas, as it lets us sharpen up the important details but leaves the low-frequency soft areas untouched. By using Live Filters in Affinity Photo, High Pass sharpening can be applied with ease. We simply use Layer&gt;New Live Filter Layer to add the effect, choose a radius setting to control the intensity of the sharpening effect, then set the Live Filter Blend Mode to \u2013 in order of intensity \u2013 either Soft Light, Overlay or Linear Light.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Stacking photos in Affinity<\/h2>\n<p>Photo Sometimes shooting a set of photos and stacking them afterwards can lead to beautifully noise-free photos. This technique is particularly effective for extremely high-ISO shooting scenarios such as astrophotography. After shooting several frames, you can use Affinity Photo\u2019s Stacking command ( File&gt;New Stack) to automatically align and blend the set (Photoshop has a similar feature, too). Each image is compared and any irregularities \u2013 including image noise \u2013 are excluded from the blend. The resulting combined images will display greatly reduced image noise, often going beyond what could be achieved with a camera\u2019s base ISO.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Lightroom\u2019s Detail Panel explained<\/h2>\n<p>The go-to sharpening and noise-reduction command for many photographers, here are the key features explained<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_127150&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127150 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lightroom-detail-panel-screen.jpg\" alt=\"lightroom detail panel screen\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/lightroom-detail-panel-screen.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/lightroom-detail-panel-screen.jpg?resize=300,162 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/lightroom-detail-panel-screen.jpg?resize=630,340 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/03\/lightroom-detail-panel-screen.jpg?resize=562,303 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">There are several sliders for controlling Sharpening and Noise Reduction in Lightroom. Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>1. Sharpening Amount<\/h2>\n<p>This controls the overall strength of the sharpening effect. In essence it\u2019s a contrast slider for edges. An edge is anywhere in the image where light pixels meet dark pixels. This control makes the light side of the edge brighter and the dark side of the edge darker.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Radius<\/h2>\n<p>This controls the distance from edges in which the sharpening occurs. The higher the radius, the further the sharpening is pushed out from edges. In general, a higher radius is suitable for images with lots of smooth areas such as portraits, while a low radius suits detailed scenes such as landscapes.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Detail and Masking<\/h2>\n<p>Detail dictates how the high-frequency details are affected. Low detail is best for noisy images as it\u2019ll help prevent amplifying the noise. Masking lets you remove the sharpening from detail-less areas. Alt-drag the slider for a view that shows excluded areas in black.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Luminance<\/h2>\n<p>This powerful slider helps to clear grainy image noise so it\u2019s useful for improving high-ISO images or underexposed photos that have been lightened. However, be careful not to push it too far as it\u2019ll result in smudgy details. Try to strike a balance between the sharpness and noise reduction.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Luminance Detail<\/h2>\n<p>This control sets a threshold for noise reduction, so a high Detail setting will preserve the fine details and textures in the image but may leave you with slightly noisier results. The Contrast slider helps to pull back a little contrast, especially when a low Detail value is set.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Color Noise controls<\/h2>\n<p>Color is set to 25 by default for raw files, which is usually enough. But if you see chroma noise (small magenta and green blotchy patches) then increase the slider. Like the Detail and Contrast sliders above, Detail and Smoothness here let you fine-tune the fix.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patersonphotos.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Paterson<\/a> is as skilled a photo editor as he is a photographer and an award-winning journalist.
