Use Case:​

iMMERSE: Sharpen is a simple but effective sharpening shader that enhances image details using contrast-based sharpening. While it doesn’t include safeguards against over-sharpening or ringing, it works great when used subtly. Its straightforward design makes it a solid choice for adding clarity to your visuals without unnecessary complexity.

Arguments:​

Sharpen Intensity​

Adjusts the sharpness applied to the screen. Start with a value of 0.000 and slowly increase it until you achieve a clear enhancement in in-game details without causing over-sharpening.

Sharpen Preset​

The Sharpen Preset determines how the shader samples the screen to enhance sharpness. Each pattern offers unique results, balancing visual quality and performance.

  • Simple: Samples in a plus (+) style pattern. This pattern is straightforward and efficient, providing a balanced sharpening effect suitable for most use cases. It works by sampling the center pixel and its direct neighbors horizontally and vertically.
  • Advanced: Samples in a box pattern. This method performs additional sampling in diagonal directions, resulting in a more refined sharpening effect. It's ideal for users seeking enhanced clarity, especially for detailed or high-resolution content.
