Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - New approach to fine detail sharpening without edge halos. Very fast, HD also.

Thanks for looking into this. Yes, it's time for pictures now.
I prepared 4 samples, all a bit overdone with sharpening to demonstrate the effect.

No1: Camera .MOV dragged into EDIUS and exported as AVI with Canopus HQ 8-bit intermediate Codec with very high quality settings. AVI back to Edius and shoot.

No2: Like No1 but reimported AVI sharpened with EDIUS's internal sharpener (setting 33).

No3: AVI No1 brought into avisynth and processed with nothing but your dithercode, str=2.0. Detail sharpening appears somehow like EDIUS, but less halos - just nice (dehalo_alpha would make it even nicer).

No4: Same as No3 but with remarks showing the increase of artefacts compared to No2 or No1.

I know we already have a fine solution here, but maybe we can try to get rid of some residual artefacts.

Thanks!
