Local Contrast Enhancement Using Unsharp Mask in Photoshop

Ok, so in this 3.5 minute video tutorial i’ll show you a super simple way to boost the local contrast without “overcooking” the global contrast in an image.

Here’s a condensed step-by-step guideline in written form:

  • Go to Filter -> Sharpen -> Unsharp Mask
  • Set Amount to 20
  • Radius to 50
  • Threshold to 0
  • Click OK and you’re done!

You can experiment with Amount from 5-20 and radius from 20-300 pixels.
