  11. You've done it again…this process is more involved than the one I currently use, but the results are dramatic. Back into my catalog and rework some photos. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these tutorials together.

  19. Awesome! You've sharpened my focus in several areas with this video. Smart Sharpening a human being. For example, I've been guilty of being heavy-handed with the clarity slider…in both directions. Thank you Unmesh.
