Thanks Justin. What method do you use for unsharp masking? I generally don't ever sharpen or use an UM on my images as it just increases noise.

Hi Kevin,

I use Louie Atalasidis's method for masking in Photo Shop.
Basically I make a copy and apply unsharp masking until I'm happy with the result in bright area's, it will be noisy in the faint area's, then following Louie's method and blend in the unsharp area to the original image.
Usually takes me 3 or 4 goes to get it right.
