Hi,

I often only apply any sharpening to a specific part of an image rather than the image as a whole. Usually, I make edits within specific parts of an image using radial filters and I was wondering if there was any way of replicating the masking feature that is available when using the general sharpening tool in the Details section of the develop module?

To better explain it, can I press 'alt' and highlight the edges for sharpening only within the radial filter area?

Many thanks for any help!
 
No, you can't. But the filter does have a sharpening slider...
 
Thanks Johan....yep, I've been using that slider to localise the sharpening - just wondered if I could refine it even more by using the masking feature, but it seems not.

Many thanks Johan.
