The creative sharpeners are by design for localised sharpening or
smoothing. There are three basic sharpening sets, two of which utilise
brushes and the last a range of global sharpening effects. As with the
Capture Sharpeners each of the brushes is based on wide, medium and
narrow edges. The actual brush size, opacity and flow can also be
adjusted to suit the specific requirements of the image. Portrait
photographers will love the Smoothing Brushes. Likewise landscape
photographers will probably find the "Haze Cutter" and "Depth of Field"
brushes really useful.
Since the list of brushes and filters is too long to list here Iíve
included the following sample screenshots.

If I was asked which of these special effects filters I like most then
it has to be the "Super Grain" effects. With "Super Grain" we add the
digital equivalent of photographic film grain whilst sharpening an image.
