Detail
Description
Detail presents a new technique for performing selective sharpening, detail enhancement and edge aware smoothing. Our approach decomposes the image into three detail layers: Coarse, medium and fine. Each of the detail layers can be manipulated separately in various ways, for instance, sharpening or smoothing. Add to that sophisticated, but easy to use masking and you have quick isolation of image features for selective filtering.

Controls
Presets
To select a preset, pick one from the Presets window.
Coarse
Adjusts the Coarse detail layer. Increasing the value sharpens while decreasing the value smooths.
Medium
Adjusts the medium detail layer. Increasing the value sharpens while decreasing the value smooths.
Fine
Adjusts the fine detail layer. Increasing the value sharpens while decreasing the value smooths.
Gang
The Coarse, Medium and Fine slider values can be ganged together so that they all move simultaneously. This will generate an overall sharpening effect if the sliders are increased and an overall smoothing effect if decreased.
Matte
A matte can be used to limit the detail effect. Wherever there is white in the matte is where the detail adjustment will occur. Go to the Matte parameters to see how they work.
