648<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>
649
650<p>The format of the UnsharpMaskImage method is:</p>
651
652<pre class="code">
653 Image *UnsharpMaskImage(const Image *image,const double radius,
654 const double sigma,const double amount,const double threshold,
