The Unsharp Mask feature increases the apparent sharpness of your image by enhancing the edges of objects in your image. Unsharp Mask works by increasing the contrast of edges throughout your image. This feature provides you with controls over Intensity, Radius (halo width), and Threshold. One of the unique features of the Unsharp Mask Tool from Capture NX is that it always applies its sharpening to the luminosity of the image, which prevents any unwanted color shifts from occurring within your image. To begin using the Unsharp Mask feature, click on the button next to Unsharp Mask. This will bring up the Unsharp Mask dialog, enabling you to begin adjusting the different settings. Please note: It is recommended that you zoom your image to 100% while determining the amount of sharpening to apply to your image.
