Frequently Asked Questions

Can sharpening fix very blurry images?

Sharpening works best on slightly soft images. Heavily blurred or out-of-focus images cannot be fully recovered.

What happens if I sharpen too much?

Over-sharpening creates halos around edges, increases noise, and produces an unnatural, harsh appearance.

Will it reduce image quality?

When applied moderately, sharpening enhances perceived quality. Excessive sharpening can introduce artifacts.

Should I sharpen before or after resizing?

Generally, sharpen after resizing, as resizing can affect edge definition and clarity.

Does it work on all image types?

Yes, but results are most noticeable on photographs and images with defined edges and details.
