Sharpen Tool

 
 
 

The Sharpen tool lets you increase the clarity and focus of an image. The Sharpen tool applies a sharpening filter to a number of adjacent pixels in the input image and increases their contrast.

To apply sharpening modifications to an image using the Sharpen tool:

  1. Drag the Sharpen tool from the Tool tab to the dependency graph in the Schematic view.
  2. Adjust the sharpen amount by dragging the value slider, or by typing in a value.
NoteThe Blur tool has a masking input—see Pixel Masking. The Sharpen tool's Amount value is animatable by setting keyframes or using expressions—see Setting Keys Manually and Validating and Applying the Expression String.
