Guest guru Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Thank you, Andrew! It's really an excellent tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Andrew, great find! I've enjoyed playing with it, it does a nice sharpening job...I think it will make a handy compliment to DCE from Mediachance which handles color improvements nicely. Thanks, Jim.

RudiRe Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 I downloaded the program SharpControl. Is there anywhere a description of how to use it?A help file is not contained and I don't know anything about the various settings,which SharpControl offers. The only thing I could figure out, that only jpg and tiff files can be processed with it. Also, whatever setting you apply to an image, the file size increasizes tremendously, usually 3-5 times compared to the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Thanks, Andrew.Just downloaded and applied to some images. Very good.It is even funny, because, if you increase the parameters to a maximum you get almost hand-drawn pictures and strange effects. Nice!RegardsErnst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Rudi: Yes it's true that you are limited to jpg and tiff. The only help I can suggest is... you select an area for critical viewing by dragging the box in the upper left corner with your mouse then use the zoom feature +/- to increase or decrease the overall pix size. From there on it's a matter of changing the values to you liking. Actually, default does a pretty good job on most pix.Hope this helps Bob..

Jim Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Rudi..it does indeed produce large JPEG results, maybe X3. The default setting seemed to work best for me in most cases but you can move the arrows around to try other changes to the pic and if you like the result of the changes you've made then click the "add" button and it will save the settings for you.The defaults are:2.00200%80801X--Just in case you've 'lost" them.Jim.
