In the event you have a lot of noise in the image you are sharpening, you can read my previous Shutter Magazine article “ Silence the Noise” for additional support.
ON1 RESIZE 2021 REVIEW ISO
For this particular image, we do not need any Noise Reduction since it was shot at ISO 50 and properly exposed for. We basically have three sections in the Detail panel: Sharpening, Noise Reduction Luminance and Noise Color. Again, this is completely subjective but will help keep things in check. I recommend removing all the fluff settings in camera for a more faithful representation of your image. This panel is going to bring back details you saw on the back of your camera. At this stage, we are going to simply bring back the sharpness to the Raw file.

Once we have our image prepped and ready to sharpen in Lightroom, we can navigate to the Detail panel and implement Input Sharpening. I will be working strictly in Lightroom and ON to demonstrate a complete Raw workflow.
ON1 RESIZE 2021 REVIEW HOW TO
Knowing when and how to get the most out of sharpening is where I am going to focus in this article. There are different processes and programs we can use to sharpen our images. That’s where editing programs can save the image and bring back the sharpness you intended to capture. Even with full-frame digital cameras and the best glass, there is a chance for failure.

The biggest fear when shooting is losing the peak focus on the subject’s eye and having an unusable image because you shot them at such a thin aperture. This is only the first step in the process as we ingest our Raw images to see how sharp the subject is. In an image where removing the person from the frame would give you an amazing landscape, you have to push your technical skills to keep the focus on the portrait. Many of us consider shooting wide open to draw the viewer immediately to the main subject, typically the person standing in the field, so to speak. We look for the eye of the subject, dial in the exposure settings and fire away. When photographing people in a landscape, it is so important to push the limits of your lens to capture detail.
