Sharpen
The Sharpen filters let you apply or create special sharpening effects to your
selected frame images. The Sharpen filters include None, Sharpen, Sharpen More,
Edge Enhancement, and Unsharp Masking.
In using any of the sharpen filters, keep in mind that the image you obtain in the
preview window may differ from the way the image appears when you finally scan it
in. The appearance of the image in the preview window and how it is affected by a
sharpen filter will depend on the resolution of the image. The higher the resolution,
the less obvious the effect of certain filters.
Sharpen and Sharpen More
The Sharpen filters increase the contrast of adjacent pixels, making images appear
sharper and more focused.
Both Sharpen and Sharpen More filters improve clarity, with the Sharpen More filter
having a stronger sharpening effect than the Sharpen filter.

Edge Enhancement
The Edge Enhancement filter gives greater contrast to edges. The filter can do this
because edges are areas in an image where gray or color levels change abruptly. It is
best to use this tool for improving geometrical contoured shapes.
