Sharpen Operator attributes
Sharpening terrain using the Sharpen Operator

Sharpens a height field using different convolution kernels.

Use this if you think your terrain looks too soft or too round, and you want more detail without actually adding new features.

Kernel

Select a kernel here that looks good to you. Each kernel has a distinct look, and its own advantages. Some will get quirky when pushed too far.

The following are available:

Radius

The radius of the sharpen kernel. Larger values will sharpen the larger features more, and result in a more coarse look. This attribute is only available for the ‘variable’ kernels.

Emphasize

Increase this to emphasize the results of ‘Detail Enhancement, variable’.
