I took a photograph of mine to be printed and l learned a new trick. It seems I’ve always used “Sharpen” or “Unsharp Mask” when I wanted to clear some of my photographs up. Then I was introduced to the High Pass Filter. (Ahhh..so THAT’s what it does!)

In photoshop – you make a duplicate of your original layer.  Then select “Filter, Other, High Pass.”

You do not want to go overboard on this – a couple of pixels is fine.  Click “OK” then you set your layer properties to “Overlay”.  This really brings out some detail.

There are TONS of photoshop tutorials on the internet – you can virtually teach yourself anything to tell you the truth.

The photograph is of the( finally)  running water in the San Gabriel River around the Blue Hole area in Georgetown, Texas. Enjoy and thanks for visiting.

Peace, Love, and Hope the Drought Gets Over,
