hburkes88 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I am trying to fine tune and better understand the process between the "Clarity" setting and the "Detail Refinement" setting. I can tell that they do slightly different things but I have searched extensively and cannot find an answer that will tell me in technical terms what is going on when I apply these settings. Thanks a bunch for any light that you might shed. -Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Clarity filter enhances the local contrast in an image. Its greatest influence is in the mid-tonal range. This results in a sharpening effect. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Filters/filter_clarity.html Detail Refinement: Sharpen edges to add clarity to images. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Adjustments/adjustment_detailRefinement.html Wish the Online search would have links for content chapters, like being able to link to Develop Persona.

Whaddya mean, Dex? The help on Detail Refinement tells us that it’s “only available in Develop Persona”.

hburkes88 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thank you very much firstdefence! I had seen those already but reviewed them further after reading your explanationa and did some more experimenting and it makes much more sense now. firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of being able to link to the Chapter, I can only select one of the pages within the chapter - if that makes sense.
