Sharpening and Softening Images Adjusting the Quick sharp Picture Control setting is a quick way of making pictures sharper or softer. Image definition can be further fine-tuned using Sharpening, Mid-range sharpening, or Clarity. ●● Step 1: Make Quick Edits Using "Quick Sharp" ●● Step 2: Fine-Tune "Sharpening", "Mid-Range Sharpening", and "Clarity" Step 1: Make Quick Edits Using "Quick Sharp" Adjustments to the Quick sharp Picture Control settings made by choosing a value between −2 (Softer in the i menu) and +2 (Sharper in the i menu) are automatically matched by balanced adjustments to Sharpening, Mid-range sharpening, and Clarity.
