Description

This Filter simplifies Advanced Sharpening
First it converts the image to Lab and then uses ByRô's Sobel Edge Detector to find the edges.
There are two sliders. One to sharpen the Lights and a second to Sharpen the Darks. To eliminate Halos.
Because only the edges are sharpened a greater amount of sharpening may be applied
Once the Lightness channel is sharpened then the image is re-assembled back to RGB.

How to use
Click the view Edges / Image CheckBox and select the edges to be sharpened with the Gamma and Width sliders.
Uncheck the view edges box
Zoom in to an important area of the image
Adjust the Sharpen Lights
Adjust the Sharpen Darks
