You can adjust the sharpness in a video in the Detail section. The sharpness is applied to edges in the video image to enhance detail in the video clip, where possible.
Adjusting Sharpness
To adjust the sharpness in the video image, use the available sliders as follows:
• | Amount: use this slider to adjust the amount of sharpness applied to the video image. |
• | Radius: use the slider to adjust the radius or range of sharpness applied to edges in the video image. |

|
Note: to see the radius mask, ensure that Show affected areas is selected. When enabled, dragging the slider lets you see the applied range of sharpness.
|
• | Edge Mask: use the slider to apply a mask on the detected edges in the video image. Once a mask is applied, CyberLink ColorDirector only applies the sharpness to the masked areas, leaving the surrounded areas untouched. |

|
Note: to see the edge mask, ensure that Show affected areas is selected. When enabled, dragging the slider lets you see the detected edges in the video.

Noise Reduction
Applying sharpness and other adjustments to videos may result in some image noise appearing on them. Use the following sliders to reduce the noise as required:
• | Luminance: use this slider to slightly adjust the color brightness, by reducing any unwanted light grey spots in the video image that cause luminance noise. |
• | Detail: use this slider to adjust/recover detail in the video image that may be lost when reducing luminance noise from a video. |
• | Color: use this slider to slightly adjust the overall color saturation, by reducing any unwanted color spots in the video image that cause color noise. |
• | Detail: use this slider to adjust/recover detail in the video image that may be lost when reducing color noise from a video. |
