We have already discussed the problem of oversharpening (the halo effect) in earlier tips. What should you do when a photo shows annoyingly contrasty, glaring edges, done by an overzealous picture editor or a camera’s sharpening algorithm? The most obvious step would be the applying of some kind of Blur effect, but this would also ruin the finer details of the photo. The solution is the High Pass effect, already discussed in relation to sharpening. Now we use it for an opposing purpose, to soften the edges. So, the winning cards get shuffled in the pack.
