from light to dark at the edges (e.g. windows in a building). This increases or decreases
the impression of sharpness.
Adjustment range:
Step width:
Standard setting:
Effect:
Shift to + :
–
Changes between light and dark are increased, edges seem sharper.
Only effective if there is sufficient contrast.
–
Blurred and defocused exposures can only be improved to a certain extent.
–
If this value is increased too far this may result in artifacts, e.g. thin white lines at
–
the light-dark changes no longer look natural.
Shift to - :
–
Changes between light and dark are decreased, edges seem softer.
A reduction by -2 to -4 may be good for portraits as this covers up for skin
–
blemishes.
Note
The impression of sharpness depends on the print size and the paper surface. Therefore
we recommend to set up special correction configurations, e.g. for large formats, or
cropping and enlargement with a shift towards +, or for portraits with a shift towards –
(see
Defining and Editing Correction Configurations
Note
We recommend to adjust this parameter not in opposite direction to the sharpness -
grain parameter, or at least not too far in opposite direction.
