The human eye sees what are called "Mach bands" at the edges of sharp transitions, named after their discovery by physicist Ernst Mach in the 1860's. Why are these light and dark over/undershoots so effective at increasing sharpness? It turns out that an unsharp mask is actually utilizing a trick performed by our own human visual system. This was used more to enhance local contrast than small-scale detail. The positive of the unsharp mask was then sandwiched with the negative of the original image and made into a print. ![]() They were traditionally performed with film by utilizing a softer, slightly out of focus image (which would act as the unsharp mask). Note: Unsharp masks are not new to photography. An unsharp mask improves sharpness by increasing acutance, although resolution remains the same (see sharpness: resolution and acutance). *But!! You cannot edit anymore.Note how it does not transform the edges of the letter into an ideal "step," but instead exaggerates the light and dark edges of the transition. Once transfer into color layer, you are able to transform any shapes. Please note one the text layer transform into a normal layer, you are not able to edit anymore. You are freely to put on “Gaussian Blur” effect or transform into different shapes. In this way, text layer will become a normal layer. But how?Ĭlick on text layer, choose “Convert” from “Layer” (which shows on the top of the menu) and select “Covert to Color Layer”. What you shall do is to change it into a normal layer. However, you cannot transform it through text layer. If it is an image (a normal layer), you are freely to transform it. If text layer is being rasterized (into an image format), you are not able to edit anymore. When you are drawing manga, you might want to change the dialogues or text bubbles. Text, whose layout needs to be re-arranged, its size need to be adjusted or its color needs to be re-selected, could all be edited through text layer. The text layer, which the function of its for text editing and saving in FireAlpaca. ![]()
