Sharpening Options
|
Amount |
Specifies the amount of sharpening applied by adding and removing light on each side of an edge. |
|
Radius |
Specifies the number of pixels to adjust around each edge. Higher values increase the number of sharpened pixels and tend to bring out coarser detail, while smaller values reduce the number of sharpened pixels and tend to bring out finer detail. |
|
Edge Masking |
Specifies how different the pixel lightness values within an edge must be before the pixels within the edge are sharpened. Higher values sharpen only stronger edges but minimize the appearance of noise. Lower values sharpen both strong and weaker edges, but can increase the appearance of noise. Adjust the edge masking to enhance edges while keeping background noise to a minimum. |
