How do you sharpen them??

How do you sharpen them??

Either in photo software like Photoshop, or you can sharpen them (I'm pretty sure) within iPhoto.

Hmm. I see "enhance" and "retouch", but "sharpen"? NSM.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Sharpen" is under the "Filters" menu in Photoshop.

"Sharpen" is under the "Filters" menu in Photoshop.

Under Filters, "Unsharp Mask" actually does a better job of "sharpening."

Yeah, no one one ever pick that one on purpose. I learned it from another graphics person.

Hmm. So I'd need to get Photoshop, eh? Sigh.

I've been wanting to make a "book" of my trip pictures (at least, the highlights), but definitely want them to look nice!!

Nah, most image editing software has some form of sharpen function. It may take some digging to find it.

The iPhoto that comes with iLife 05 has very nice image manipulation functions in it. I rarely use Photoshop to adjust pictures anymore.
