camera's sensor to light long enough.
unsharp mask An unsharp mask is a tool for sharpening images. The original
image is blurred slightly. This blurred version of the image is sub-
tracted from the original image, revealing the edges in the original
image. These edges are the unsharp mask. These edges can then be
sharpened by increasing contrast.

keyboard, camera, or scanner.
