Thanks for your swift response..........I would have bet money [I'm not a gambling man!] that in the past I've always used the " Filter / Sharpen dropdown" with the blend mode . Now I'll be using a non destructive process so that is real progress ......So many thanks. D.

Occasionally I use the High Pass option in the Filter / Sharpen dropdown. Since updating to AP2.3 I seem to have lost the blend mode drop down in the the High Pass filter which makes it unusable without the blend option. Is this just me missing something or a Serif deliberate change which we have to accept? I should point out I'm an absolute amateur hence my very basic question. I have however found a work around by using the High Pass via the Live Filter drop down. All's well there as the blend mode option drop down is part of the High Pass filter. Maybe I've just got to retrain the 'auto' part of my brain to use the live filter rout in future? Thoughts welcome Doug
