Every once in a while, questions come up about various methods to sharpen. Many involve Photoshop, others use Lightroom, and even other brands of software yield good results. If you have a video or tutorial to link that explains a preferred way to sharpen, please post it below. There are many different ways to sharpen - some work better for certain situations than others - so it's helpful to know more than one method.
Here is an easy video on High Pass Sharpening. It requires using a layer mask, but even if you aren't all that knowledgeable about layer masks, it's not difficult to follow. The default layer mask is white. White reveals the sharpening all over the images. Click on the layer mask, then hit ctrl+i (Windows) or command+i (Mac) to invert the layer mask to black. The sharpening will be hidden. Using a white brush on the layer mask, brush over the areas you want to sharpen.
