What are sharpening filters?
Sharpening filters are used to enhance the edges of objects and adjust the contrast and the shade characteristics. In combination with threshold they can be used as edge detectors. Sharpening or high-pass filters let high frequencies pass and reduce the lower frequencies and are extremely sensitive to shut noise.
Which sharpening method is better and why?
However, we prefer an edge sharpening technique for most output. Edge sharpening avoids emphasizing noise or other artifacts. In addition, edge sharpening holds up better if an image is resized slightly — which is often an unavoidable occurrence when image files are put into page layouts.
How does the sharpen effect of filter option works?
Sharpen filters sharpen images by creating a high contrast overlay that emphasizes edges in the image. There are two Sharpen filters: Sharpen sharpens an image. Unsharp Mask creates an effect similar to Sharpen, but with more control over the amount of sharpening.
