[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 30333, member: 1061"] I can't remember what the ratio is, but there's some kind of rule when it comes to cropping. You can generally safely crop X% of an image before pixels become an issue, and it all depends on the MP of the camera/the image's original size. That balloon accounts for probably less than 15% of the entire image, which is going to show pixels, even if it were left unedited. The high pass filter is only going to magnify damage at that extreme of a crop. Lightroom's default sharpening Presets aren't that great. I have some custom ones made that are much more comprehensive. I also have a Sharpening Action for Photoshop that uses the High Pass filter in two different passes for large and small details. They are also in different layers, so the opacity can be tweaked. If you're interested, PM your email and I'll send them to you. [/QUOTE]
