I like to be behind the camera, taking pictures not starring in them, but sometimes it&#8217;s necessary to have the camera turned in my direction.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, over the last few months, it became increasingly obvious to me that I needed a new profile picture. The last one was taken in 2008 when I was a) younger and b) heavier, but I&#8217;ve been struggling to find the right image. \u00a0I was going to ask one of my many photographer\u00a0friends\u00a0to take one for me but then, whilst at the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b2bhuddle.com\/\">B2B Huddle<\/a>, I found myself in the company of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johncassidyheadshots.com\/\">John Cassidy<\/a>, who was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b2bhuddle.com\/post\/30928233594\/headshots\">creating fantastic headshots of attendees for a very competitive price<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Mark Wilson headshot\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/mark-wilson-small-headshot.jpg?resize=200%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>In just a few minutes (John normally spends more time with his clients), shooting tethered into Adobe Lightroom with a Nikon D3, 85mm f1.4 lens and a collection of lights and reflectors, John managed to create the <a href=\"http:\/\/idioms.thefreedictionary.com\/You+can't+make+a+silk+purse+out+of+a+sow's+ear\">proverbial silk purse from a sow&#8217;s ear<\/a>\u00a0in that he made\u00a0me look quite presentable! In fact, I was amazed at what he had done with me*. One of the resulting images is now my profile picture on most of the websites that I use (I keep finding odd ones with old pics that need to be mopped up, and I still use an image for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/mark-wilson\/\">my Flickr profile<\/a> that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/jamin2\">Benjamin Ellis<\/a> took of me, &#8220;caught in the act&#8221; of photography, although he&#8217;s since removed the image from his photostream).<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted a higher-resolution image for <a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/markwilsonit\">my about.me page<\/a> but, to my eyes, the image I&#8217;d selected seemed just a little soft around the eyes. It was taken at a reasonably narrow aperture (f5) but I wanted to sharpen up my face (just the face &#8211; as sharpening my suit created some strange results due to the weave of the fabric). A few minutes in Photoshop was all it took to create the effect I required for a punchy on-screen image, although it would be inappropriately sharp for a printed version:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Selective sharpening in Photoshop using the high pass filter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/photoshop-high-pass.png?resize=128%2C214&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"128\" height=\"214\" \/>First, I created a copy of the background layer.<\/li>\n<li>Then, I created a new layer and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graphics.com\/modules.php?name=Sections&amp;op=viewarticle&amp;artid=856\">applied a black mask before painting over my face with a white brush<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Next, I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/photoshop\/discuss\/72157594334851900\/\">applied the high pass filter with a value of 3.0<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, I set the blend mode for the high pass layer to Overlay. Soft light will also work for a more subtle effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are before and after images, at 25%:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Soft eye\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/soft-eye.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Sharp eye\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/sharp-eye.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a useful tip, and I&#8217;m not the first to write about the high pass filter &#8211; it&#8217;s all over the &#8216;net\u00a0&#8211; but it&#8217;s a technique that&#8217;s worth knowing about if you really like a shot but are finding it just a little too soft for your taste. In addition, the eyes may be sharper now but it does have the side-effect of enhancing wrinkles, etc. in my skin. That&#8217;s\u00a0probably OK for a 40-year-old man but not too flattering for a woman so more selective editing may be required.<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0My wife used the word &#8220;handsome&#8221; but I wouldn&#8217;t go quite that far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a few notable exceptions, I dislike photos of myself.
