About sharpening pixel images

You can sharpen edges in pixel images by applying the unsharp mask filter. This filter can be applied on multiple images simultaneously.

The filter:
  1. Compares adjacent pixels (specified by Radius and Threshold) to determine which pixels to correct.
  2. Increases the contrast of these pixels (specified by Amount).

The effects of the unsharp mask filter are far more pronounced on-screen than in high-resolution output. For print, experiment to determine which options work best for your image.
