Dahlia

Before and after.

First into Lightroom to make some basic adjustments too exposure and contrast then I added a radial filter to emphasise the flower.

Back into LR and then into ON1 Effects where I chose summer original and made some adjutments to the settings.

 

Net I aend it into Elelemnts 14 and duplicate the layer then access Effex out put sharpening which I like a lot.

This brings up the effex filter like so and adjust setting to taste.

Now click on the brush where the curser is, this will put it in selective sharpening, this will send it back into Elelemnts with a mask to paint in the sharpening where you wnt it,here I just wanted the flower sharpened and not the background you can also alter the opacity slider on that layer to fine tune the selective sharpening. Now falatten the layers and you are done.

Not a great picture but does show different work flows that people may be able to us which they did not know before, especially if you are using Elements.
