Sharpening an image involves adjusting the contrast between adjacent pixels to make edges more distinct and defined.

Unsharp Mask is a sharpening technique that selectively enhances the edges of an image while preserving the overall smoothness of the image.

Noise in digital images can be caused by a combination of factors, including improper lighting conditions, high ISO settings, and camera sensor defects.

Median Filter is a noise reduction technique that replaces each pixel with the median value of its neighboring pixels, effectively reducing luminance noise while preserving edges.

A high pass filter is used in noise reduction to selectively remove high-frequency noise, such as grain or speckles, while preserving the overall image detail.

Channel Mixer is a noise reduction technique that allows for the adjustment of individual color channels to reduce color noise while maintaining the overall color balance of the image.

Wavelet denoising is a powerful noise reduction technique that effectively removes both luminance and color noise, preserves edges and fine details, and is computationally efficient.

Noise reduction should be applied to an image before sharpening to prevent the amplification of noise during the sharpening process.

Unsharp Mask is commonly used to enhance the appearance of edges in portraits as it selectively sharpens edges while preserving the overall smoothness of the skin.

Median Filter can blur edges in an image as it replaces each pixel with the median value of its neighboring pixels, which can result in the loss of fine details.

Wavelet Denoising is commonly used to reduce noise in low-light images as it effectively removes both luminance and color noise while preserving edges and fine details.

High Pass Filter selectively enhances edges, preserves fine details, and is computationally efficient, making it a versatile sharpening technique.

Wavelet Denoising is commonly used to reduce noise in images with a lot of fine details as it effectively removes noise while preserving edges and fine details.

Gaussian Blur filter can blur edges in an image as it replaces each pixel with the average value of its neighboring pixels, which can result in the loss of fine details.

High Pass Filter is commonly used to enhance the appearance of edges in landscapes as it selectively sharpens edges while preserving the overall smoothness of the image.
