I really like this script. It's smoother and kinder than Unsharp mask.

I love this new sharpening technique it really preserves the detail and doesn't blow out the image edges.
Glad someone finally made it into a filter for Gimp.
I set the radius to 50 for a 2500x1900 pixel photo and it worked excellent.

That's not bad. I've never been a fan of unsharp mask. I've had pretty good results with the plain ol' sharpen filter combined with brightness/contrast adjustment.

I always just duplicated the image and desaturated it ticking luminosity, and then used unsharp mask at .50 for amount and about 5.0 for radius.(0 for threshhold) . then set the top layer to overlay.Then i would merge the two layers.
Here are my results..


High pass is definitely much better than mine.

Original image here.

This image is a combo of dd's plug-in and skynet's script. The sky was very over exposed so I selected the white sky with the Fuzzy select tool, grew the selection by 1, extracted the luminance and used a blue gradient on the chroma layer.

Then I used skynet's highpass sharpening script on it.

What a beautiful place O.

I don't know where that place is, Rod. It's from a PhotoShop tutorial about fixing an overexposed sky.

By the way, the skynet based his Highpass sharpening filter on Episode 164 of Meet the Gimp.
