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.
On the Tools menu, click Sharpen.
Note: When the Sharpen tool is enabled, a checkmark
appears beside the Sharpen command in the Tools
menu, and the Sharpen tool appears in the toolbar.
1 Open the Sharpen tool, if it is not already open.
2 Select a sharpen level from the list. Check the preview image to
see the effects of the change.
Note: To see the effects of the new sharpen level more easily,
zoom in on the selection area. See "Getting a closer
look (zooming)" on page 43.
