Hi,
I am sharpening an image and I need to combine three layers; a rocks (really a dried up creek) layer, a foliage layer and a sky layer. Each layer has been sharpened to various degrees using an edge mask created with the channel mixer then inverted and blurred as needed. The masks are then added to rocks, foliage or sky layers then smart sharpened (I like the lens blur results). The edge masks were then ‘applied’ to their respective layers then reveal masks added to those layers to ‘show’ the foliage, rocks or sky. I can combine these localized sharpening layers (with great results) to the base layer (background plus associated adjustment and correction layers merged) using luminosity, opacity and blend if – but only one at a time. So my question is:
What is the best and least destructive method of combining the three localized sharpening layers with each other and the base (all visible merged) layer?
Thanks,
Ron
