Creative sharpening is the catch-all term for localized adjustments to image detail. Unlike optimizations for capture and output processes, creative adjustments can’t be applied automatically based on specific parameters—they require creative judgment, hence the name.
But automation plays an important role in making many of the tools we use for creative sharpening. The only part of the process that can’t be automated is the actual localizing of an effect to a specific area of an image. So in this section we’ll discuss building creative sharpening (and blurring) tools and applying them effectively to images in Photoshop. The first valuable lesson to learn is that you can turn any adjustment into a brush!
