In this GIMP tutorial, I provide 5 tips for sharper photos. I provide in-camera tips for producing a sharper photo BEFORE you import the photos onto your computer and into GIMP. I also show you the best technique when using a sharpening filter inside of this free photo editor to reduce color noise, chromatic aberrations, or other imperfections when sharpening.
This is a great tutorial for beginner photographers and beginner GIMP users. I also show you how to make adjustments to your image (though I have other tutorials better suited for that if you want to get into the details) and also provide the best way to export your image for a sharper final result.

As always another great video appreciate you so much. Gimp was absolutely alien to me until I found your videos!!!

@southernexposure123 2 года назад

Thank you for the video and for explaining about radius and what that adjustment affects.

@vickilyn 4 года назад

Thank you!! I have always just taken my final image and then used the Sharpen (Unsharp Mask) filter. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, this often affects the edges so on some images I still have to play around with the colors before I am satisfied with it. I often wondered how to use the Decompose option and I plan on using that method more often.

@angelluismillan 3 года назад

Very clear. I use the well known method with a layer copied in luminance mode, but these ones are better. I prefer the second method: the first slightly increases brightness, not the second.

Hi - going the Decompose - Lab route is great - Thanks. I am not sure it was available in pre-2.10 GIMP, but now at least you can shorten the process by copying the image to a new layer then choosing Components > Extract Component> LAB L which gives you the grey-scale LAB layer without having to decompose and copy and paste back the lab component. BTW I find this combined with the G/MIC > Details > Gradient gives me the best sharpening for my purposes. Thanks for all your excellent Tutorials!

@markgholson9222 Месяц назад

I use floating dialog boxes. I put a smaller LAB box down below, then I have the bigger Original box above. So when I recompose with LAB I can instantly see the results on the original image.

i could see the 2nd method had better results thank you

Just brilliant

@RU-qv3jl 7 месяцев назад

Good video. I personally don’t like the global sharpening effect of the USM filter. I prefer to work on various levels of detail. As such I still decompose the image but then I use wavelet decompose on the luminosity layer. I do all my work on the decomposed luminosity layers until I am happy and then copy visible and paste over the luminosity layer. Then I recompose and the original image takes on the sharpness that I wanted. I have found that in that manner I get more control and also fewer unwanted artefacts.

@MarcEspie 3 года назад

For the sharpen tip, how about this: do the LCh Luminance filter for the real time preview. Then delete it, do ctrl-f on the decomposed image and recompose ? I expect the parameters are pretty much going to be what you want, and that way you avoid skewing the colors.

@sprinkles_091 2 года назад

my images keep looking really pixelated when i try to bring the into gimp, especially when i try to put the print onto something really small. how to i keep my image quality, but still have an image that is only 100x100 but i need it to look HD. i make decor for the sims 4 and am trying to put a print on a coffee cup. lol

@laoschild86 4 года назад

Would it lose quality if saved as png format?

@minepro1206 4 года назад

No, but it's better to use tiff for anything except transparent graphics.

What is your advice on exporting an image to upload to Facebook?

@DaviesMediaDesign 4 года назад

Facebook is going to end up compressing the image to whatever size it wants the image to be, and it has size limitations, so you'll want to export to JPEG.

@marcus3d 4 года назад

Nonono, do all the edits EXCEPT sharpening before downscaling it, but ALWAYS sharpen last. That's because the resize will introduce softness due to interpolation.

@DaviesMediaDesign 4 года назад

I understand the logic, but I simply disagree that you should wait to sharpen till after you scale. You are going to lose pixels regardless when you scale because of interpolation, but I think the sharpening looks better when it's performed on the original image versus the scaled image. Plus, you can save your original image with the sharpening, and come back to it any time and scale it down for any project or medium. I have run the tests and this is what I prefer. You can still get good results sharpening the scaled image, though. Simply turn down the radius before cranking up the amount.

@marcus3d 4 года назад

@@DaviesMediaDesign I did some more tests now, too, and found that the best results seem to be when sharpening both before AND after the resize. Do a slightly-less-than-normal sharpening before the resize, and then do another slightly-less-than-normal sharpening after it (with radius
