Description

Instant Sharpener is a *very Fast* photo enhancement tool, for sharpening pictures using ye olde Fotoshoppe high-pass filter layering trick, as told to me by Ugo, a professional graphic artist, audio vst designer/developer, and musician (http://www.ugoaudio.com/). I added a hint of brightness/contrast via limited range slider control, so you can touch up the picture's overall darkness-lightness as the final stage before output (*Darken - Lighten* and *Contrast*, are at zero with a setting of 33.33. The controls are listed top-to-bottom, in the order that they affect your picture. Note: For this V2 update, I added seperate Contrast control, instead of having it tied to the Darken - Lighten (Brightness) control, and upped the amounts of the other controls, for slightly more range, and sharpness. Note: This V3 update adds the newer Blend module, and expands the ranges of the controls just a hair. This is a minor update, and does not increase the render time.
