Sharpening and Scaling in Silverfast
Once you have edited an image, there are a few
optional steps to take before your image file is ready
to be processed. Silverfast can apply image sharpen-
ing and perform image scaling to optimize the file for
specific output devices.
Sharpening
Image Sharpening settings are chosen under the
Filter popup menu under the Frame tab on the main
SilverFast™ window. If “None” is selected the file will
not be altered. If “Sharpen USM” is selected you will be
presented with an interactive sharpening dialog.
Note:
Preset sharpening settings
may be selected or custom
settings may be previewed
and applied. If uncertain,
check Auto Sharpen.
Descreening is useful when
copying half toned artwork.
Customizing sharpening settings
Click on the Preview button in the Sharpen dialog,
then click anywhere in your image; the software will
present a preview of the final file with the current
settings. Adjust the intensity for the desired level of
sharpening. Confirm by checking several areas.
Scaling for output
Under the Output Resolution popup menu, you will
be presented with a list of preset output resolutions.
For most applications we prefer to leave the settings at
the default “Photo Print (300DPI)”, but if you are inter-
ested only in web graphics, choosing “WEB (Internet)
(72DPI)” setting will reduce the resolution for faster
performance.
If you would like to scan to a specific output size,
unclick the lock icon over the DPI dialog and the locks
next to the output resolution entry fields, and enter
the desired output size. Click the entry field locks, but
leave the DPI lock unlocked. As you crop your image
you will notice that the software will automatically
keep the proper aspect ratio and resolution. When
finished, enter a filename, and click Process to save
your file.
