Sharpness of Grain, Fine structuring, Unsharpness | Kodak RP 30

Operator’s Guide

Sharpness of Grain

This parameter has a similar effect as Sharpness of edges, however on smaller structures (< 1 mm), such as on hair in portraits or on grass.

•Shifting towards +

Fine structures appear sharper.

•Shifting towards –

Fine structures appear softer.

•Fine structuring:

If the value is increased, fine details become even sharper (such as highlights in the night), but homogenous areas show noise effects.

•Unsharpness:

When this value is reduced, the noise is reduced and the grain structure disappears, but details are less sharp and highlights are eliminated. Grain reduction only with values < 0, for example, –4

Detail Contrast

This parameter influences the sharpness in medium structures (mm to cm), such as faces.

•Shifting towards + Structures appear sharper.

•Shifting towards – Structures appear softer.

Corrections YMCD

•Color / density corrections

•Value range -9 to +9

The effect of the correction input depends on the setup of the Impact parameter.
