One of our favorite images of all-time was almost lost because we slightly front-focused the image. Other sharpening tools on the market just couldn't bring it back. So we made our own. Introducing ... TOP Sharpening Up! What makes this work so well is that focuses 100% on selectively sharpening your image and painting on only where you need to fix. And it's fast - the action takes less than a second to load once you hit play. Other products on the market can take several *minutes*! We legitimately use this action on almost every single finalized image.
