Sharpening an image
Increasing sharpening enhances detail in the image. The
HP Precisionscan Pro software automatically selects the optimal
sharpen level, but you can change it.
You might want to increase sharpening if the image looks fuzzy.
Conversely, you might want to decrease sharpening if the original item
has flaws or marks on it. Increasing sharpening, or increasing it too
much, can accent the flaws and create undesirable patterns.
