Unsharp Mask options
|
Amount
|
Specifies the amount of light added to or
removed from each edge. Higher values produce darker edges.
|
|
Radius
|
Specifies the number of pixels to adjust
around each edge. Higher values increases the number of sharpened
pixels.
|
|
Threshold
|
Specifies how different the lightness values
of two adjacent pixels must be before they are sharpened. Higher
values increase the required difference. It is recommended that you
set the threshold so that it enhances edges while keeping
background noise to a minimum.
