sharpen photo cfr photoshop action

[denzjos]

An action in photoshop is great to sharpen photos. It is concerning the following action, Russell Brown's detailing action that one can found on: https://www.photoshop.com/spotlights/russell-brown. I tried to make the same thing in gimp, but I think I missed something because the result is a more colorful photo, but it is not sharpen. It use a negative curve preset in photoshop. I don't know how to do that in gimp. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

You could always use 'Sharpen(Unsharp Mask)', after doing the curves...

Looks like the "Freaky details" technique. (in Gimp 2.10, there is  a "vivid light" blend mode so you don't need GMIC). In both 2.8 and 2.10 the whole thing is also a complete GMIC filter.

Thank you for the quick answer. I've tried it and the result is what I want. One mentioned in the article that the result is overdone. That is right. All one have to do is blending the corrected layer with the original layer (normal mode). I blend it with opacity 50% or less. The result is then a more natural photo. See the result (photo taken with a super zoom compact camera, so a had to use high iso because the environment was dark and the distance was far)
