Awesome.. I like the time stamp thats shows how long it took you to make the tutorial... Be nice to see the feedbacks as to others workflow.. Mine is very close to yours, but I'm in LR more...
Thanks again Conrad..

Thanks Conrad, great tutorial! On the other hand do you have any idea how many images I may have to go back and rework?
Oh wait, you're not doing anything for a while, I can just send them all to you.
Seriously though much appreciated, got the pdf's too.
Really appreciate your guide. I've been bumbling through PP for quite a while now, and I've really been struggling with sharpening. Your guide was a great help to me!
Now you need to write a guide to getting close to raptors!
Conrad, thank you so much for this. Really appreciate your time and effort to put this together. I know it will be of benefit to me as I seem to flounder and stumble trying to get a "process" down. Seems like each of my shots need something different
Abesolutely wonderful and generous. Hate even asking, anyone know how to turn this into a printable version? It would be so nice to have this on my desk while trying to do it on the computer.
Thanks and best wishes.
Thanks for taking the time putting your tutorial together and sharing with all. Your hard work and generosity does not go unnoticed.
My white balance is not always right so, after importing the image and cropping it, I get the color right by getting the white balance right. That can be achieved by adjusting the temperature and tint slider, or clicking on the white balance presets, or using the white balance eyedropper tool.
Thank you so much, man. This is invaluable info for beginners like me. It's incredibly generous of you to put this together and post it to the masses for free. I found this to be very clear, easy to understand, and extremely informative- but not too advanced either. A perfect blend.
I've got a lot of re-processing ahead of me this weekend!

I'm happy to hear this feedback Charlie! Thank YOU!

You did a great job putting together this tutorial, Conrad. It is easy to follow and many people will benefit from your work.
Since you asked I just would like to elaborate more on LAB sharpening based on what I know.
LAB sharpening is a very specialized sharpening method and comes handy when you get some color shifts after sharpening (mainly you get some desaturation of the colors), which is very rare to happen, even more so to spot it.
So, with the LAB method by choosing the Lightness channel, you are just sharpening the luminosity of the photo, since the luminance is held in the Lightness channel. The color is held in the a and b channels that in this case are turned Off. This way you avoid any color shift that may happen with a normal sharpening adjustment.
However you can achieve the same result with a normal sharpening layer, w/o changing the color mode, by just changing the BLEND MODE of the sharpening layer to "Luminosity". This way you are just sharpening the luminosity of the photo, as in LAB, w/o going through all the steps of changing twice the color mode of the image
PS offers many different ways to do the same thing, so it is just what works for you that matters.
I don't think it has anything to do with the halos you get with sharpening, but, again, it is just a matter of what works for you
Again, great tutorial! Thanks for sharing this with us
