Tab Special Filter (All Modes
except
of
Black & White Mode)
This tab offers several methods to change the extent of sharpness of the whole image or of specific elements of
it.
None
If N
ONE is selected, no special filter is in use. All options are not accessible under these circumstances.
Adaptive Sharpness
This option reduces print raster.
By combining the smoothening and sharpening filters, ADAPTIVE SHARPNESS softens the image sections
with constant colors in order to make raster virtually invisible.
Object edges and text remain sharp and can even be sharpened.
You can enter values for the L
EVEL and LIMIT directly in the entry fields or move the white squares
corresponding to the “coordinates” of the filters in the diagram.
Level
You can s
et the level, or intensity, of the sharpening and softening filters individually. Picture sections with
poor contrast or image backgrounds are edited with the lower entry field, whereas the highly contrasted
sections, such as text and edges, are edited with the upper field.
0: max. smoothing
100: max. sharpening
Default value: 0 - 100
