•  Oppose -- Some blurs, sharpening level increasing needed. It is strongly recommended to equalize luminance field to improve viewable quality. -- Twdragon
  •  Question To increase sharpening level is quite easy. But to equalize luminance field is more difficult for me : I am not familiar with those technics. Should I apply this method (I tried but did not managed to obtain a satisfying result) ? --Gloumouth1 21:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
    • This method is applicable for a few images with no extremely darkened parts (e.a. some weak underexposure removal). I recommend you to equalise luminance field not strongly, using the "Curves" or "Highlights/Shadows" Photoshop instruments. You also can open this image using Camera RAW (in Photoshop CS3 this plugin works with JPEG) and try to improve quality of the image with "Clarity", "Recovery"? "Blacks" and "Fill Light" trackbars. The instruments of Camera RAW have intuitive interface.
