Sharpen
The right amount of sharpening enhances detail in
the scanned image. Too much or too little
sharpening can accent flaws and emphasize
undesirable patterns in images of photographs,
drawings, or line art.
If the original picture is not sharp, or you want to
create a special effect, you can increase or
decrease sharpening with the
Sharpen Level tool.
The sharpen level you select will be applied to the
final scan.
See page
29 for more about the Sharpen Level tool.
