Thanks Deb,
I played around with it last night and figured the idea but wasn't quite sure where I would've liked it as a final image. I'll play again see what I get.
thanks for your input.
:)

When you make an image smaller, it will lose some of its detail and sharpness. Unsharp mask will give back that sharpness and make it look like the original photo before resizing. It will *not* make an image sharp that was out of focus to begin with.
Use a light hand on those sliders, though - if you see a thin white line around the edges of shapes, you've sharpened too much. (Easy to do, I've done it myself.) If that happens, just undo and back off the sliders. ;)

Hi, Mary,
Every software package has the unsharp mask (I think), but where you find it depends on what you have. In PSE2 it's under filters/sharpen/unsharp mask; in PP it's under tools/sharpen; I'm not sure about other packages like PSP.

thank you Deb,
you said the image may have needed a little more unsharp mask after I resized.... how would I do that?
:)

I love how you've filled the frame with these beauties, and there's some good contrast happening here.
One (small) nit: the photo feels a little soft, but I suspect that happened during post-processing. It probably needed a little more unsharp mask after you resized it. Or was that intentional? (keep my big mouth shut)
