Sharpened images

I've decided to start using images sharpened with Topaz Sharpen AI. Rather than add text on each image stating it was sharpened with that tool, I decided to use a watermark. The linked observation has two copies of the same image, one sharpened with Topaz Sharpen AI and one not. I also removed some spots on the sharpened image.

My plan is to indicate such images are sharpened this way by including an underscore _ following my sig in the watermark. I'll additionally clean them up more than the standard images.

Wow, the sharpening software seems great--the image doesn't have the "halo" effect I see on some sharpened images.

Yeah - I'm very impressed. It seems to work especially well on macro shots for some reason. It does sometimes introduce artifacts, though, which is why I'm watermarking them differently (although it's just a subtle difference).

Wow! These are indeed spectacular, Victor! Well done. :)
