Detail Coring
Outline compensation can be performed by adjusting the Detail, and enhanced outlines enable clear representation of
images. But at the same time it may make a whole picture look coarse. This is because added Detail signal will
also work on low-level signals including noise.
Detail Coring function can adjust the range of adding the Detail signal and reduce the noise caused by adjusting the
Detail.
Noise is a low-level signal. So, when the Detail Coring is set to a higher level than noise signals, the Detail signal will
work only on high-brightness signals to be intensified, not on the noise. By this adjustment, the outline of an object
will be enhanced and its texture will look the same while the increase of coarseness on the whole picture is
suppressed.
In some cases, this adjustment of Detail range by Detail Coring is effective to reduce the noise that has become
noticeable due to GAMMA setting. Moreover, with the Skin Detail turned ON, graininess of human skin color can be
lowered and, also in representing the images of people, it is possible to make the texture look natural depending on
the situation.
