Photoshop Tutorials Photo Retouching Edge SharpeningBefore we end this tutorial, we'll show you some methods to tweak and enhance the results of the edge sharpening.
Hold the Alt key and click on the layer mask thumbnail located in the Layers pallet. The image should now look like an inverted black and white sketch. Notice the curly lines on the areas where the skin is. Those fine lines are telling us that those areas are being sharpened as well.
Removing those fine curly lines is simple with the Levels tool. Open the Levels tool (Image> Adjustments> Levels or Ctrl+L) and move the middle input slider towards the right until the thin lines disappear.
Hold the Alt key and click on the layer mask thumbnail again to view the final results.
