Frequently Asked Questions

How does this sharpening algorithm work?

It applies a mathematical 3x3 Laplacian edge-detection matrix over pixel neighborhoods to calculate local contrast gradients and cleanly reinforce edge boundaries.

Does this create artifacts on smooth gradients?

Because the kernel is calibrated with dynamic weight damping, smooth color gradients remain clean while high-frequency textures receive enhanced contrast.
