Re: Can someone explain sharpening?
OHenry pretty much has it. It is a destructive means of increasing the "line" between things. These things are usually seperated by colors. Your ability to sharpen well will be seen in these color differences. Lots of times, you can see images that have a "halo" around them. They look really sharp, but if you look, they look fake too.
In some respects, sharpening with software is like tell a 16 million color image to be a 32,000 color one. The computer looks at each pixel and its neighbors. If it sees a "match" it changes it. It is NOT a good thing, but it is a necessity.
