Tab Special Filter (All Modes except of Black & White Mode)
This tab offers several methods to change the extent of sharpness of the whole image or of specific elements of it.
None
If NO N E is selected, no special filter is in use. All options are not accessible under these circumstances.
Adaptive Sharpness
This option reduces print raster.
By combining the smoothening and sharpening filters, ADAPTI VE SHARPNESS softens the image sections with constant colors in order to make raster virtually invisible.
Object edges and text remain sharp and can even be sharpened.
You can enter values for the L E VE L and L IMI T directly in the entry fields or move the white squares corresponding to the “coordinates” of the filters in the diagram.
Level
You can set the level, or intensity, of the sharpening and softening filters individually. Picture sections with poor contrast or image backgrounds are edited with the lower entry field, whereas the highly contrasted sections, such as text and edges, are edited with the upper field.
