Creating Texture, Shape and Detail with the Highpass Overlay Technique in Photoshop

I examine the High Pass Overlay technique in Photoshop - part of a seminar I gave to the Tucson Photography Meetup Group on Feb. 26th, 2011. I talk about the High Pass Overlay technique for enhancing texture & sharpness and demonstrate how it differs from unsharp mask then briefly shows how to invert the layer to achieve a softening effect.
