To soften or add clarity to an image, you can use the following Sharpness settings to decrease or increase the sharpness of your image:

• Sharpness - Affects the non-fleshtone colors in an image.

• Fleshtone Sharpness - Affects fleshtones in an image.

  Note: Setting Sharpness and Fleshtone Sharpness to the same value can cause undesirable results. This is because the level of sharpness that produces clear rendering of objects can cause people in an image to appear to have pitted or textured skin. In most cases, setting Sharpness higher than Fleshtone Sharpness yields the best results.

• Lock sharpness and fleshtone sharpness together - If selected, increasing or decreasing a Sharpness setting increases or decreases the other Sharpness setting by the same amount. For example, with the lock on, if Sharpness is 15, Fleshtone Sharpness is 0, then increasing Sharpness to 30 increases Fleshtone Sharpness to 15 at the same time.
