To adjust the sharpening applied during the RAW decoding process: 1 Select a RAW image imported with or migrated to Aperture 2.0 or later. The version is indicated by the RAW Decode Version pop-up menu. 2 Adjust the strength of the sharpening effect by doing one of the following: Use the Sharpening slider and value slider to adjust the strength of the sharpening effect applied during the RAW decoding process. Â The default value for the Sharpening slider and value slider is determined by the camera used to create the RAW image file. Drag the Sharpening slider to the right to increase the strength of the sharpening effect applied during the RAW decoding process, and drag the Sharpening slider back to the left to reduce it. Â Click the left or right arrow in the Sharpening value slider to adjust the strength of the sharpening effect by 5 percent increments, or drag in the value field. Â Double-click the number in the Sharpening value slider, then enter a value from 0.00 to 1.00 and press Return. A value of 0.00 applies no sharpening effect to the image during the RAW decoding process. A value greater than 0.00 increases the sharpening effect to the image. 3 Adjust how the sharpening effect is applied to edges by doing one of the following: Use the Edges slider and value slider to adjust how the sharpening effect is applied to edges during the RAW decoding process. Â The default value for the Edges slider and value slider is determined by the camera used to create the RAW image file. Drag the Edges slider to the right to intensify the sharpening effect that occurs at "hard" edges (areas where significant color changes occur) during the RAW decoding process, and drag the Sharpening slider back to the left to limit it. Â Click the left or right arrow in the Edges value slider to adjust the strength of the sharpening effect that occurs at hard edges by 5 percent increments, or drag in the value field. Â Double-click the number in the Edges value slider, then enter a value from 0.00 to 1.00 and press Return. A value greater than 0.00 intensifies the sharpening effect on hard edges. 354 Part III Performing Image Adjustments
