Hey guys,

I see there's a few threads on sharpening, and I did just have a look through the large comprehensive one. Most of that is completely foreign to me and seems to be with regard to specific programs which I sadly do not have.

I was just wondering, because I'm still in the early stages and far, FAR from advanced... is there a quick and easy way to sharpen your photos, without spending money on Photoshop tools and extensions?

I am using a trial version of Photoshop CS5 at the moment but can't seem to find (or figure out?) a way to simply sharpen a photo.

At this point I'm not looking for perfection (yet), but I'd really appreciate if someone could give me a couple of basic tips on how to sharpen a photo either using what I have with Photoshop CS5, Picasa, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, or if there are any other superior FREE programs from the net that would be well appreciated too.

Thanks guys.
