TIP
If you pump up the settings you are
working with to produce a stronger
effect than what is needed, you can
see the results of your retouching
more clearly. You can then use the
Edit mode to reduce the Amount to
reach the desired strength for the
brush strokes.
Clarity and Sharpness adjustments
A positive Clarity Adjustment Brush setting can be used to selectively paint in
more midtone contrast. In the example shown here, I used a Positive Clarity and
a positive Sharpness effect setting to bring out more detail in the surface of the
rock. I definitely did not want to add more sharpening or clarity in the sky area,
as this would have made the image noise more noticeable. With the Auto Mask
option checked, I painted the rock area only, avoiding the sky area.
Whenever you adjust the Sharpness slider in the adjustment tools to add more
sharpness, you are essentially adding a greater Amount value of sharpness based
on the settings that have already been established in the Detail panel Sharpening
section. A negative Sharpness setting in the 0 to –50 range can be used to fade
out existing sharpening. Therefore, if you apply –50 sharpness you can paint to
disable any capture sharpening. As you apply a negative Sharpness in the range
of –50 to –100, you start to apply anti-sharpening. This can produce a gentle lens
blur effect, but you can always strengthen this by applying successive, separate
Adjustment Brush groups. I’ll be showing a further example of localized sharpen-
ing in Chapter 6.
1. Here, you can see I selected the Adjustment Brush tool and adjusted the
Effect settings to add +100% Clarity combined with +30% Sharpness. I then
clicked on the rocks and started painting to apply the combined Clarity and
Sharpness adjustment effect (with Auto Mask checked).
