Sharpening luminance
It has just been mentioned on the Canvas forum that the latest version of Graphic Converter has a "sharpening luminance" filter. Huh? Waht's that -- can anyone explain? And how do we do that in PL32?

Thanks, Hoogo. An interesting effect. Particularly useful on duller pictures, judging by a couple of small experiments I did.

If your picture is in RGB-Mode, sharpening only the L-Channel may lead to some color changing. See the example below.
You can avoid this effect by choosing the HIS-Model and sharpening only the I-Channel (Intensity)or by first converting your picture to the Lab-Mode an then sharpening only the L-Channel.
I already told this effect to Gerhard, he said its not a bug.

Yes, the effect is hard to see in this case. When sharpening the L-channel you sometimes get impossible colors where L is black or white and a/b are colorful at the same time. In RGB keeping L correct is more important, in "real Lab" keeping a/b is more important. A good test-picture for this is a slightly blured red square on a blue background.

I don't know the exact values I did use. The effect starts at intensity values above 100% and gets stronger by increasing the intensity value.Martin Huber hat geschrieben: I can see the color change in your images, but I can't reproduce it myself. What filter and what settings did you use?
I would say there is a green color cast over the whole picture.Hoogo hat geschrieben:My monitor isn't calibrated, and it's quite angle-dependend. The bright feathers look a bit cooler in the sharpendes picture, do you mean that?

Just enclose the URL to that photo (posted on the net somewhere) in the IMG formatting tags, like this:greenmorpher hat geschrieben:Hey!!! How can I incorporate a picture into a post?
[img]http://www.server.com/path/to/image.jpg[/img]
You can even post a photo as a clickable link by using the [url] tags, like this:
[url=http://www.server.com/path/to/page.html][img]http:www.server.com/path/to/image.jpg[/img][/url]
Normally that part where the img is embedded is where you would embed your text that you want to appear as your link. The above example is using the IMG tag instead of just text.
(normally used as [url=http://www.server.com/path/to/page.html]Here's the text that you want to describe that link.[/url] )
Using the second method here's a clickable graphic. Click on the image to get to PL32's homepage:
This comes in handy if you only want to embed a thumbnail image to help out us poor dial-up people, and click on the thumb to get to the full size image, plus not breaking the message board's formatting by embedding too large of an image.
[url=http://www.server.com/path/to/full_size.jpg][img]http://www.server.com/path/to/thumb_size.jpg[/img][/url]
When editing your post the easiest way is to just copy/paste the url to your image in your message. highlight it in the editing area (click drag release over the URL), then click on the "Img" button above the editing area. It will automatically enclose the highlighted text in the proper IMG tags.

The intensity value is the problem. The filter itself delivers the same results, but in RGB images the filter result is converted to RGB and then written with 500% to the destination, and this is creating the color shift.Martin Stricker hat geschrieben:I don't know the exact values I did use.

Just quickly butting in to the conversation ...
About general sharpening - You can do quite strong sharpening with
Photoline by using different layer techniques to clarify the image - many
times the overall clarity of the tones is more effective than just using plain
sharpening.
(Sorry Martin S for using your image - this was just so delicious as a
demopic) The owl pic clarified with an overlay layer and finished off with
an Unsharp Mask filter (cranked up waaay above reasonable levels):
