Sharpening actions 1

Description

Update: I have created a new sharpening action-set: [link]
Note that the new set allows you to choose a custom radius for the sharpening and does not include noise reduction actions (that pretty much just ran the NR filter anyway).
---
A set of 6 free actions to help prepare images for output.

3 simple variations of the noise reduction filter for easy access.

Sharpening effects optimized for halftone/press or inkjet/dye output at 300 ppi (run it before printing to compensate for the blurring that takes place when printing!).
Included is also a sharpen effect optimized for screen.

The sharpening effects are non-destructive and fully tweakable (recommended: add an edge mask to avoid affecting skin etc.).

Made for Photoshop CS3 and newer.

Free to use for commercial work. Please don't redistribute - it can be downloaded for free from here! :)

Note that output sharpening is the last thing you should add before print (the only thing you may add later is grain/noise). Zoom to 50% to roughly see how it will look.

If you make something cool, please add a link in a comment so everybody can see it. :)
