the first pic is normal one and the second one i used sharpion hd its a redfield pulgin since its a demo version im getting demo words all over the image...my question is .is there any other free filter or plug in which give me the same effect or is there any other tutorial that will help me to achieve this effect? plssss help
 
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you need a plug in for achieve that effect. So long as you have PS you can use either the unsharpen filter or the smart sharpen filter to get that effect. Though I have to say, not sure why you would want to sharpen the original. It looks fine the way it is.

Whatever you say boss. Just don't over sharpen it, like you did with the first try. It actually makes her look older with the over sharpened effect.

s correct dude...im new trying to learn new things in photoshop pros like u should pls help me to knw more about effects and photo
manipulation...ur suggestions and tips are always welcomed thnx dude
 
You could do that without a plug-in using HDR Toning, that's with the PS program
try these settings or tweak it the way you want. Just the ideaScreen Shot 2013-11-02 at 7.45.15 AM.png
 
@OP - I hate to have to be so blunt, but your tweaked version of the original looks hideous. Her skin looks mummified. Under no circumstances would I ever let a model see that version. If I did that and it somehow got to her, I would likely never have any customers again.

I understand that you are trying to overcome the slight movement blur and slight error in focusing of the original, but those plugins are NOT the way to accomplish this. Instead, download a copy of "Focus Magic" (Google it) and give it a try. There are subtleties in using it, so give it a try, and if you are interested, I can give you some pointers about how best to use it.

Also, if you happen to be using the Creative Cloud version of PS, there is a nice new sharpening filter that was just introduced. It works a lot like "Focus Magic".

BTW, here's what one can get using Focus Magic + some dodging & burning and a bit of clean-up of her skin.

Duplicate layer/high pass/sharpen more/hard light as good as HDR and more variable in my opinion.
 
@OP - So, which are you trying to do:

a) add texture to an image (and you happened to use the skin of that actress as your example); or,

b) sharpen a slightly soft image, but want to keep skin looking nice?
