Use File > Import to bring in the bitmap image to use for the print, and press Enter to center it at its original size. Start a new CorelDRAW document sized to match your print output. Intention ¶To demonstrate JPEG artifact removal, we’ll start with a photo of a horse that we want to enlarge and used for a large wall print.

Grab the Text Tool once more and, with the half circle object selected, select within the object itself. While the image is selected, go to the Effect menu PowerClip Place inside Frame (early versions of CorelDRAW.Step 2. A blue sky—the blue channel tends to get a lot of noise).I didnt realize you could get such cool brushes. Often there will be large areas of the image that you know you don’t want to sharpen (e.g. A really good example of this is when you have an image with a lot of high ISO noise or film grain applying across-the-board sharpening will enhance the noise/grain and make it even more visible, especially in large prints. Applying an unsharp mask to an entire image is not always appropriate.

If you are saving out a Rasterized image, like a png, than you will.This technique does two “smart” things to avoid sharpening noise: If you create your logo and export it as a Vector file then you can always resize it later. In the Text Properties docker, set the paragraph option to Justify, make the word 'Ingredients' bold, and make sure that word is several points larger than the.

It is noticeably soft, probably due to bad autofocus. Step 1 ¶Here’s the original image loaded into GIMP. I didn’t want to shrink the image windows down like I usually do for the other tutorials since sharpening and noise are subtle and really show up better at these larger sizes. I adapted it for GIMP from a Photoshop tutorial on the luminous-landscape.com photography web site (great web site BTW, I recommend it).New information and comparison with the “warp sharp” script! The Procedure ¶You may want to maximize your browser window to properly see this tutorial. Then you can load the channel mask as a selection and apply the unsharp mask to just the edges.Giving credit where credit is due: I did not come up with this method. create a channel mask that contains only the edges in the image.

It might be wise to minimize the original image window now. Step 2 ♭uplicate the image by pressing Ctrl+D or right-click and select Image -> Duplicate. Sharpening should always be the last step that you do.

In that case use HSV (hue/saturation/value) instead. This will allow us to isolate and sharpen the luninosity channel which is a) the most important, and b) should be the cleanest in terms of noise.At this point I usually turn off visibility of the A and B layers in the Layers dialog by clicking on the “eyes”.Note 1: if you happen to have an older version of the compose/decompose plug-in it may not have the LAB option. Check the “As layers” checkbox (see Note 2) and click OK.This will create a new window with the image decomposed into the Luminosity (“brightness”), A and B channels as 3 layers. In the decompose dialog box, select LAB (or HSV see Note 1).

The premise there (my guess) is that perhaps you don’t want to find noise as edges. This image is going to become our sharpening mask.Note: in some tutorials they recommend converting to greyscale and then running the edge detection filter. For the example image I chose 6.Now convert the edges image to grayscale by right clicking on it and selecting Image -> Mode -> Grayscale. You may need to experiment with this. In the Edge Detect dialog box, select a parameter value of the appropriate size for the edges in your image.

Bring the black point up and the white point down to filter out any insignificant edges. Step 4 ¶The next step is to adjust the tonality a little so that areas that need sharpening are really white and anything that doesn’t need sharpening at all is really black.Open the Levels dialog ( Image -> Colors -> Levels). Besides, with a high enough edge detection parameter (here 6) you will avoid detecting random CCD noise as edges. Once you have converted to greyscale you may not be able to detect that edge any more. Transition between two light colors).

Step 6 ¶If you want to you can use Levels again to adjust the white and black points of the mask. A radius of between 3 and 10 pixels (horizontal and vertical) should be enough. Step 5 ¶Now apply a gaussian blur ( Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur) to smooth out the edges a little. There wasn’t a lot of spurious edges shown here, so a small adjustment was all that was necessary. Click OK when the image outlines the significant edges in white and most everything else is black.How much you’ll need to tweak this really depends on the image.

Right-click again and select Edit -> Copy. Step 8 ¶Right-click in the blurred/edges image window and Select -> All. Name it “Sharpening Mask”. Select the LAB image (if HSV, value) in the drop down box at the top and then click on the Channels tab.Click on the new channel button ( ) at the bottom of the dialog to create a new channel. Step 7 ¶Open the Layers dialog.

You should see a tiny version of the sharpening mask in the channel icon, indicating that you properly pasted the sharpening mask into the new channel. Step 9 ♬lick on the Channels tab in the Layers dialog. Go back to the LAB (value) window and paste ( Edit -> Paste or Ctrl+V).Select the Layers tab in the Layers dialog and click on the anchor button ( ) to anchor the floating image.

If you’re not happy with the results, undo and try the sharpen step again with different parameters. You will find that you can use much higher amounts of sharpening (than if the entire image were selected) without significantly degrading the image.In the example here I used Radius=1, Amount=2.0 (200% ?), Threshold=0.Now get rid of the selection (right-click and Select -> None) and zoom in ( = key) to examine the results. You may want to experiment with the settings here. We only want to sharpen the luminosity channel.Apply an unsharp mask ( Filters -> Enhance -> Unsharp Mask). Step 10 ¶Important: in the Layers dialog, click on the Layers tab and make sure the luminosity layer (if HSV, Background layer of Value window) is selected, and is the only one selected. You should see “marching ants”.You can experiment with feathering the selection here if you want I usually don’t.

Convert it to RGB ( Image -> Mode -> RGB). Using the gradient tool, create a gradient from black to white across it. For example, try the following experiment: You can lose a suprising amount of information. Real World Photoshop, Blatner and Fraser—great book) suggest that mode changes in and out of RGB are not to be taken lightly.

Convert it to LAB, by decomposing to LAB ( Image -> Mode -> Decompose), then do a compose on the LAB image back to RGB ( Image -> Mode -> Compose).
