How to Use the Sharpen Tool in Affinity Photo

Posted on 19th June 2023

The Sharpen tool is one of the most commonly used tools in Affinity Photo. It can be used to make an image look sharper or to bring out details that are not visible in the original image.

When to use the Sharpen tool

The Sharpen tool should be used when you want to make an image look sharper. It can also be used to bring out details that are not visible in the original image.

How to use the Sharpen tool

To use the Sharpen tool, select it from the Tools menu or press the shortcut key (F6). Then, click on the image to sharpen.

The Sharpen tool has two settings: Strength and Radius.

Strength determines how much the image will be sharpened. A higher strength will make the image look sharper, but it can also make it look “crunchy” if you use too much.

Radius determines the size of the area that will be sharpened. A larger radius will sharpen a larger area, but it can also make the image look “fuzzy” if you use too much.
