Web Sharpener Update V0.8
2 min read
Hello,
I've updated my Web Sharpener Script for Photoshop to version 0.8. You will need Photoshop CS2 or higher to run it.
New features ...
*) Improved downscaling algorithm that uses more than 2 steps now and considers the image size. If you liked the previous algorith, you can select this option as well.
*) Better edge masking to prevent halos more efficiently.
*) Some bug fixes.
Here's the link ... www.andreasresch.at/upload/Web…
The ZIP-files includes both a German and an English version of the script plus the documentation in PDF-format.
As there are quite a few medium format and large format shooters here - the new script works significantly better with larger images now.
AUTO-RUN VERSION
By request I also created a version that runs without dialog so that you can use it to run in a batch. Here's what you have to do ...
*) The script is included in the "English" folder of the ZIP-file.</b>
*) Open the script in a text editor.
*) There's a section at the beginning of the script called "EDIT THESE SETTINGS FOR THE AUTO-RUN". Edit the settings there to your liking.
*) After that, save the file with it's original name or better with a descriptive name like "WebSharpener V0.8 850px NoSaturation Opacity45.jsx" which can reflect some settings that you changed in the script.
*) In that way you can create several script files with different setting.
*) To be able to include the script in the batch automation you have to create an action for it. So go ahead and open some dummy image. Create a new action and label it to your liking. Now go to "File->Scripts->Browse..." and navigate to your own saved version of the script and run it. After that stop the recording of the action, close the dummy image and you're ready to use it a future batch processes.
Cheers,
Andreas

Tutorial on manual exposure blending
1 min read
Hello!
I was often asked to make a tutorial about manual blending of exposures in Photoshop without the use of HDR (which I never use anyway). In the process of the relaunch of my new website, I posted and article and a video-tutorial there descriping my process. Unfortuntely the article is written in German only, but the video is quite helpful as well and just contains an audio track without any odd German talking
There's an action I used which is one of the luminosity masks of Tony Kuyper, a fellow photographer from the US. Go there and ge them - they are only $10 and very helpful in many ways. Here's the link ... www.goodlight.us

Check out my new website too ... there are some new images there and I will have tutorials and tipps posted then and now.
Take care,
Andreas

Hello!
It took Google a while until they managed to get Google+ going for Google Apps users like me. I always followed the development and prefer it much more to Facebook now, as they appreciate the quality of presentation that artists and photographers are looking for. Their gallery is wonderful.
So please - if you like to follow my work, add my page to your circles. Thank you.

Web Sharpener V0.6

Web Sharpener V0.6 (Update)
For those of you that use my web sharpening/downscaling script for Photoshop or for those of you who are not happy with the quality of their web images as far as sharpening is concerned, I've updated the script.
It's a minor update that adds a slider to adjust the pre-sharpening strength. The layers created are split up in a "Darken" and "Lighten" layer to provide individual adjustment options.
Feel free to download and use it. The ZIP file contains the English, Norwegian and the German version of the script as well as the documentation in each language.
Here's the link ... http:/www.andreasresch.at/upload/WebSharpener.zip
If you like the script and use it frequently you can donate something to my PayPal account which is always appreciated. The link is included in the documentation.
Enjoy the script.
Take care,
Andreas
