FineSharp()

[digitech]

mt_masktools-26.dll is the one you want, place in avisynth\plugins directory, 25 means avisynth 2.5x, 26= 2.60

I use the pre-release with sse3 fix of removegrain, repair is also included

Hi turbojet can you give a little advice about how to make finesharp work with the avisynth version you mention above, thanks!

How can I get it to process only the right half of the image so I can more easily see what effect it is having? The option in ffdshow is disabled (cannot be checked). Thanks.

l = crop(0,0,-width()/2,0)
r = (width()/2,0,0,0)

stackhorizontal(l,r.finesharp())

Or l.finesharp if that strikes you fancy, I don't know I'm not your mother.

Admittedly I haven't tested this yet, so it might break spectacularly, but it seems right. Certainly the right idea.

thanks. you meant

right?

Oh, yeah it helps to call functions rather than just list arguments, welp.

dont think this does much if anything at all of worth if your already using madvr and the lav package with ffdshow raw video filter in mpchc, please correct me if im wrong


heres a reply from 6233638<

"One of the results posted looked interesting, but generally sharpening is detrimental to image quality in my experience, and I would certainly not want to be sharpening while upsampling the image"


whats youre oppinions on this?

[Didée]

> please correct me if im wrong

Okay. Hereby you are corrected.


> whats youre oppinions on this?

Frankly? Sounds like self-profiling by coming up with a definitve statement, in a matter that's way too diversified to make such definite statements.

Anyway, I've no clue who this 6233638< is.

[sexus]

well hes a member like all of us 6233638 , he is , anyhow so you say theres more to this than meets the eye , please id like to hear everyones oppinions on this , maybe id even go for it if its deffinitely worthwhile , thanks in advance

[Asmodian]

It is easy to see if it is worthwhile, just try it!

I usually don't like extra sharpening either but some sources do look much better with it. There really is no "for everything anywhere" option.

This is another area where it is up to the user to decide what they like.

I don't think using MadVR+LAV or not has anything to do with it. Lanczos vs whatever EVR uses isn't that different.

[sexus]

thanks that explains abit more

Fein fein...
Any chance this gets implemented directly into ffdshow some day? ;)

[Jenyok]

There are some functions in PhotoShop
.
"Menu -> Flter -> Sharpen ->
...Sharpen
...Sharpen Edge
...Sharpen More
...Smart Sharpen
...Unsharp Mask"
.
.
Question.
.
Which functions and scripts in AviSynth are corresponded (~equal) to functions in PhotoShop ?
See text upper.

I've been fiddling with the settings of this filter --- great one, by the way, so thank you Didée --- but I have to ask, what is the equation implemented by it? I'm playing with lstr and pstr and though I see some changes, I have no exact idea as to what I'm changing exactly. Also, I am not sure that what the exact effect of ldmp is mathematically --- I can SEE an effect, I'm just not sure what it is that I'm seeing.

Is it now compatible with 2160p hdr sources?

I've been testing various denoiser and sharpener combinations for post-processing of 1080p60 Cineform (Filmscan 2) avi exports graded in DaVinci Resolve. Unfortunately, NR is only available in the Studio version of Resolve and I'm using the free version. Denoising before importing into Resolve would mean transcoding the native clips (HD-AVC.mp4), which is a PITA.

Testing KNLMeans with Finesharp there is definitely some benefit in a 10-bit pipeline (p210) even if the final target is 8bit 4:2:0 - I'm seeing less sharpened residual noise than when processing in YV12.

Typical script:

LWLibavVideoSource("{Path}:\Cineform_export.avi", fpsnum=60000, fpsden=1001,format="YUV422P10")
KNLMeansCL(h=1.5)
Finesharp(sstr=3.0)
ConvertBits(8)
ConverttoYV12(interlaced=false)

KLNMeans in combination with CAS gives quite nice results (clean any way), but that's not really the kind of adaptive sharpening I'm looking for.

Are there other AVISynth sharpeners with HBD support to test?

Edit: Oh, I see LSFMod was ported for HBD also.

That's good to know. Haven't been on the forum for a good while.
