Unsharp Mask

Similar to Sharpen, this filter provides many more options to refine and control the
amount of sharpening applied to the image. This filter causes rasterization in 3D
groups.

Parameters in the Inspector

Radius: Sets the amount of the mask’s effect. Values range from 0 to 32.

Amount: Sets the amount of the multiplier used to sharpen the object’s edges. Values
range from 0 to 2.

Threshold: Sets the threshold of luminance difference to be considered as a high
contrast range, between 0 and 1.

Horizontal: Sets the horizontal width of the unsharp mask. Values range from 0 to 100.

Vertical: Sets the vertical scale of the unsharp mask. Values range from 0 to 100.

Mix: Sets what percentage of the original image is blended with the filtered image.
Values range from 0 to 100%.

HUD Controls
The HUD contains the Radius, Amount, and Threshold controls.

Stylize Filters

Unlike distortion filters, which warp and deform an image, filters in the stylize
subcategory make an image appear as if it was created with a different medium.
