Bernard,

It depends on the photo. They work differently and one of them may be more effective for a given photo. I'd suggest you try both and evaluate the results to see which works out better.

Bernard,

Did you change the blending mode to overlay? You may also need to zoom in a little bit.

Wow. I don't think you could have made this any more simple and easy to understand. Glad I found you via the Capture NX Flickr group.

Thanks greatly!

John,

The blending mode determines how the resulting adjustment is superimposed on the image before the adjustment. In this case, I used the overlay mode and applied the overlay blending only to the luminance channel to avoid affecting colors and creating color halos around the edges.

Thanks for this and the other tutorials about NX. Besides Jason Odell's e-book and the Nikon tips, this seems to be the only source of this kind of information. And the others don't discuss high pass sharpening, so this tutorial is really useful. Maybe some time you could elaborate on the Blending aspect? I've followed your steps on an image of my own and they certainly work, but I don't quite understand the blending part.
