[QUOTE="J-see, post: 485057, member: 31330"] A fixed part of my workflow has become the frequency separation filter. I mainly use it to do my final sharpening. I dislike doing this in RT because I don't have the tools to accurately control what I want sharpened and more important; what not. This is my shot without final sharpening: [ATTACH=CONFIG]174916._xfImport[/ATTACH] I then apply frequency separation at the absolute minimum; 0.1 and delete the low frequency layer. It then functions as a high-pass filter but suffers the same issue as unsharp mask; nasty fringing at high contrast areas: [ATTACH=CONFIG]174917._xfImport[/ATTACH] In this case it is very visible at the feet. I simply fix that by erasing everything I don't want to sharpen or what suffers fringing. Some more tweaking and I'm done. [ATTACH=CONFIG]174918._xfImport[/ATTACH] It works much better than trying to do this in RT or any other RAW editor. They're simply not equipped to do this decently. The previews here suffer scaling issues; to see them without click the large versions. [/QUOTE]
