I am in process of scanning and restoring some old photographs. I will be doing some level and color adjustmensts and some clone stamping. My goal is to keep the original scan, as is, as the background image and perform each type of adjustment on its own separtate adjustment layer.
My understanding is to apply the unsharp mask as the last step of the process after performing other adjustments. Is there an adjustment layer to be placed on top of all other layers and then apply the unsharp mask to that layer to affect the layers below it? Also, is there an adjustment (or any other type of layer) to be used for clone stamping?
So far I simply duplicate the background layer and then apply clone stamping and unsharp masking to this layer but the disadvangate I see is that the unsharp mask is applied below other layers. Is this correct method of applying the unsharp mask and clone stamping?
