sharpen in Quick Fix

The final correction to talk about is sharpeningand I do mean final. Sharpen your photo after you've made all other corrections. Sharpening makes the edges of things more distinct and brings out detail. Digital photo prints are often a bit softer than photos printed from film. Sharpening helps bring out that extra touch of focus. But use sharpening sparingly. It's easy to get carried away and sharpen too much, especially using Editor's automated sharpening tools.

Open your photo in Quick Fix mode.

Auto Sharpen frequently takes the correction too far. In this photo, artifacts appear along the top edge of the beak after choosing Auto Sharpen.

Move the slider to the right to apply more sharpening. By the second notch, artifacts already appear. Move the slider any farther right and you start getting a halo effect.
