Oversharpened - Yay, or Nay?

[Andy M]

And does anybody know of a good way to reduce moire in clothes photo's?

Face looks fine. Sweater has slight 'edges' to it (esp on shoulders)...not sure why.

Try the Smart Sharpen tool on Photoshop (I use CS2). I find that does a better job than any of the other sharpen tools

also (after the horse has bolted) - select the background and soften it.

Que?!

How the ruddy heel do you do that?!

[GetCarter]

Well if done well in PS it'll work a lot better than this that I did in 20 secs on PSP.

Just select the area you want (in this case the background) and and soften it (listed under BLUR in PSP... can't remember what in CS2)

The moire's worse (and different too, oddly) when not being PH squished, so I'd concur with the sharpen option. Just the sweater if need be.

I'll try this when I get home later
