Sharpen Filters
These filters sharpen images by creating a high contrast overlay that emphasizes edges
within the image.
Sharpen
Sharpens an image by enhancing the color contrast around edges within the image.
Parameters in the Inspector
Intensity: Sets the intensity of the sharpening. Values range from 0 to 2.
Amount: Sets the amount of the sharpening. Values range from 0 to 100.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Amount and Intensity controls.
Unsharp Mask
Similar to Sharpen, this filter provides many more options to refine and control the
amount of sharpening applied to the image.
Parameters in the Inspector
Radius: Sets the amount of the mask’s effect. Values range from 0 to 32.
Amount: Sets the amount of the multiplier used to sharpen the object’s edges. Values
range from 0 to 2.
Threshold: Sets the threshold of luminance difference to be considered as a high
contrast range, between 0 and 1.
Horizontal: Sets the horizontal width of the unsharp mask. Values range from 0 to 100.
Vertical: Sets the vertical scale of the unsharp mask. Values range from 0 to 100.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Radius, Amount, and Threshold controls.
