Sharpening
Improve the clarity and focus of your image.
The Sharpening Filter helps focus softer edges in a photo to increase clarity or focus. Use this tool to improve image quality, but keep in mind that too much sharpening can give your photo a grainy look. Note that on most screens sharpening results are best seen at a 100% Zoom level or greater.
