Key Terminology & Definitions
Unsharp Mask (USM)
A classic sharpening technique that creates a blurred copy of the image and subtracts it from the original to enhance high-frequency edge contrast.
Sharpening Threshold
The minimum brightness difference required between adjacent pixels before sharpening is applied, preventing amplification of smooth skin or sky noise.
