48 Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro

Sharpening an image

Increasing sharpening enhances detail in the image. The

HP Precisionscan Pro software automatically selects the optimal sharpen level, but you can change it.

You might want to increase sharpening if the image looks fuzzy. Conversely, you might want to decrease sharpening if the original item has flaws or marks on it. Increasing sharpening, or increasing it too much, can accent the flaws and create undesirable patterns.
