Selective Sharpening in GIMP

clipped from www.ephotozine.com How to use the Selective Sharpening tool Selective Sharpening in GIMP - Michael Bates shows us how to sharpen up our images in Gimp. It can be hard to ensure the same level of detail across the entirety of an image at times depending on the circumstances under which the photograph was taken. Here the lower section of the photograph goes out of focus, and unfortunately this includes part of the main feature which is the leaf. We could just leave this photograph as it is; however we are able to return some sharpness to this area using software like GIMP in a few easy steps.
