My family stayed in Cestyll House in 1978 .
I found it so hard to believe that the house had deteriorated to the extent that
has been stated it was a lovely house full of antiques and in first class
decorative order.
The only ‘drawback’ if one can quote it as such, was the awful hooter from the Power
Station every Thursday morning. I wonder if this – in any way – was the end of Cestyll
as a wonderful residence.

Hi.
Can’t seem to find a postal address.
I’ve got several sets of pellets to send to you.
Can you mail me a postal address? (I check this blog rarely!)
Excellent work! Many thanks.

Hi Gary,

imho using multiple small sharpening steps gives a better result than applying one big sharpening function. Recently I’ve been using a raw presharpening filter as well which appears to improve things as well.

How much to apply does vary from image to image. As a rule of thumb I inspect the image at 50% and apply the sharpening steps until I can see sharpening artifacts and then undo the last two steps using the history tool.

regards
Kev

I came to your site via the Yahoo Infrared groups when you responded to one of my posts. and I am highly impressed with the quality and presentation of your images.

Very interested to read trhough your image processing. The part that intrigued me was the application of multiple ‘unsharp mask’ applications. I was wondering if you applied this as a general rule. Or do you do this on an image by image basis? Sharpening has always been an area that I have not quite grasped and I don’t think I get the best out of my images. I guess part of that is because I only a Canon G2 which only has 4mp so any image manipulation seems to degredate quality quite quickly.

Anyway, I would be interested to hear you reply.

Thanks

Gary
