In this video I show you two ways to sharpen an image using the free photo editor GIMP.
Image used for the demonstration:
pixabay.com/photos/sea-lion-australian-sea-lion-8232312/
Techniques used in the demonstration:
1) Duplicating a layer in GIMP.
2) Using the High Pass filter on a copy of a layer with GIMP.
3) How to use a blend mode (in this demo I use the Overlay blend mode).
4) Decomposing and image in GIMP and recomposing after sharpening.
5) Using the Sharpen (Unsharp Mask) filter.
A simple task that is very helpful if you have an image that needs to be sharpened. In GIMP there are several ways to sharpen a photo to make it look better. In this demonstration, I show you two ways to achieve this.
