Kodak DC5000 manual Sharpening and Softening a Picture

Sharpening and Softening a Picture

If you plan to edit your pictures using image editing software, the Sharpness feature can make some editing processes easier. By selecting the Sharp setting, the edges around the picture are enhanced, making it easier to cut or crop the image. If you want to blend the image into a background, use the Soft setting to de-emphasize the edges. For everyday picture-taking, keep the Sharpness feature set to Standard. The Sharp or Soft settings may increase or decrease the clarity in pictures.
