of your images by enhancing the edges of objects in your image. The Unsharp Mask tool in Capture NX 2 is unique in

A Please note: It is recommended that you zoom your image to 100% while determining the amount of sharpening to apply.

To use the Unsharp Mask tool, please follow these steps:

1Navigate to the Adjust menu, select the Focus sub- menu and select Unsharp Mask.

determine the areas that are sharpened based on their color. To sharpen the entire image, select RGB.
