Output Sharpening

It's not a bad idea to add a bit of sharpening to an image before you send it to the printer.

1. Duplicate your master image. (Then close your maser image with layers.) Flatten the duplicate  IMAGE > FLATTEN
2. Duplicate your background layer.
3. While you have the new "background copy" layer selected, go to FILTER > OTHER > HIGHPASS.
4. For an print that will be 11x14 inches, I'd choose a radius of approx 1.5 to 2 pixels. Hit OK.

5. Flatten the image. Save as a Flat TIFF.

**Make sure your document size matches your output size and that you've added white borders if you'd like them. Check how big your document is by going to IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE. (Should be 300 dpi.) Add white borders by going to IMAGE > CANVAS SIZE. Make sure your final document is the size of the paper you will have it printed on.
