Vivien (inspirationbit),
Thanks for sharing your tip about the Unsharp mask. I read some interesting and impressive stuff about sharpening photos in the Real World Photoshop book I have. I want to write about it, but I’d like to become more familiar with the techniques first.

Thanks for the congrats I’m quite pleased (though it’s nothing compared to what John’s done with iLT!! Holy cow! We started our blogs at the same time, too!)

Nice work with the photos, Lauren. I too use all the techniques you’ve described, plus also quite often I apply filter -> Sharpen -> Unsharp Mask and play with the settings there.

Btw, congratulations with such an impressive number of RSS feed count for such a young blog as yours. Way to go!
