734<p>UnsharpMaskImage() sharpens one or more image channels. We convolve the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). For reasonable results, radius should be larger than sigma. Use a radius of 0 and UnsharpMaskImage() selects a suitable radius for you.</p>
735
736<p>The format of the UnsharpMaskImage method is:</p>
737
738<pre class="code">
739 Image *UnsharpMaskImage(const Image *image,const double radius,
740 const double sigma,const double amount,const double threshold,
741 ExceptionInfo *exception)
742 Image *UnsharpMaskImageChannel(const Image *image,
743 const ChannelType channel,const double radius,const double sigma,
744 const double amount,const double threshold,ExceptionInfo *exception)
745</pre>
746
747<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p>
748
749<h5>image</h5>
750<p>the image.</p>
751
752<h5>channel</h5>
753<p>the channel type.</p>
754
755<h5>radius</h5>
756<p>the radius of the Gaussian, in pixels, not counting the center pixel.</p>
757
758<h5>sigma</h5>
759<p>the standard deviation of the Gaussian, in pixels.</p>
760
761<h5>amount</h5>
762<p>the percentage of the difference between the original and the blur image that is added back into the original.</p>
763
764<h5>threshold</h5>
765<p>the threshold in pixels needed to apply the diffence amount.</p>
766
767<h5>exception</h5>
768<p>return any errors or warnings in this structure.</p>
