Sharpness - edges (for color negatives and digital)
Sharpness - edges
This parameter is used for the correction of
light/dark transition along edges, e.g. windows in a
building.
Shifting towards +
–
The light/dark transition is emphasized, the
edge appears sharper.
Shifting towards –
–
The edge appears softer.
Hints:
The impression of sharpness depends on the print
size and the paper surface. Therefore a special
correction configuration should be set up per print
format and surface.
Sharpening:
–
Only effective if there is sufficient contrast. If it
is increased too far the result may be artifacts,
e.g. thin white lines on dark branches appear
artificial ("digital").
Blurred and unsharp exposures are not
improved.
Soft-focus effect:
–
For portrait pictures it may be indicated to set
up a correction configuration with reduced
sharpness (–2 to –4) to improve e.g. blemishes
on the skin.
Saturation (for color negatives and digital)
The Saturation slider is used for color prints to
change the color saturation.
A slight increase in the color saturation may be an
advantage for some prints (e.g. pictures with many
colored areas), however for faces it seems
exaggerating. For a normal mixed production a
value of 0 is the best setting.
