Sharpening that doesn't introduce noise to photos?

3 months 2 weeks ago #761166 by Sean Lamber
Is there a way to add sharpening to a photo that doesn't introduce noise to the photo?  Seems like whenever I try to sharpen photos, noise is added.  Then you need to add denoiser which seems like it just counters what just took place with the sharpening software.

If you push the texture slider up (In Lightroom), and then the clarity slider down just a little, then they should even each other out. Experiment with them, you should be able to find the right combination. Or, you could always just use the DeNoise sliders.

Depends on the software used to do the sharpening. In Lightroom and Photoshop, set your sharpening then hold the ALT key and slide the masking slider until you see only the edges of what you want to sharpen

Sharpening isn't the problem.  It's the greed of the photographer.  When you use it in moderation, sharpening doesn't effect negative effects.
