Settings
Sharpness of Edges
This parameter is used for the correction of light/dark transition along edges, such as
a window in a building.
• Shifting towards +
The light/dark transition is emphasized, the edge appears sharper.
• Shifting towards –
The edge appears softer.
The impression of sharpness depends on the print size and the paper surface; a
special correction configuration should be set up for each print format and surface.
• Sharpening:
Only effective if there is sufficient contrast. If it is increased too far the result may
be artifacts; for example, thin white lines on dark branches appear artificial
("digital").
Blurred and unsharp exposures are not improved.
• Soft-focus effect:
For portrait pictures it may be beneficial to set up a correction configuration with
reduced sharpness (–2 to –4), for example to improve skin blemishes.
Saturation
This regulator is used for color prints to change the color saturation.
A slight increase in the color saturation may be an advantage for some prints, such
as for pictures with many colored areas. However, for faces an increase would
exaggerate the saturation. For a normal mixed production a value of 0 is the best
setting.
