      No, by "strategy" I mean what we discussed the other day:
      Shoot many (MANY), toss all but one (or so) *rolleyes*
      
      But yes, of course these are cropped. The cropped "original" resolution for this one is actually something like 2112x1188, then I sometimes tweak the colours a little if needed (auto white balance is sometimes way off), then sharpen, then resize to full HD (1920x1080), then sharpen again.
      I often have slightly more resolution than full HD, but not enough for 4K (by a long shot), so I settle for HD and use what little extra I have to "fake" a little sharpness as described above ;o)
      What was this program again that you advised the other day for sharpening with some AI algorithms? I may want to use that for some older images that were requested to be used in a book (no "extra" resolution there to abuse for sharpening on those old shots).

        Ah that strategy!
        
        The program is called Topaz AI Sharpen. Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks Christine, and yes, the eyes are "peculiar" - tried zooming in on that the other day, but frankly that is just beyond what I should be trying with my equipment ;-/

      Well, okay (thanks), after all I _did_ decide to upload that collage, but nevertheless the first thing I think when I see it is: "Could have done with better DOF" ... but I could only achieve that with stacking or much better optics and sensor - out of reach for my current "single shot" tinker toys. Didn't stop me from trying though ;o) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
