There is correspondence between Unsharp Mask parameters names and scales in widely used graphics software.
Parameter | Adobe Photoshop | ImageMagick | GIMP |
---|---|---|---|
Radius | 1x | 1x | 2.5x |
Amount | 100x | 1x | 1x |
Threshold | 1x | 1/255x | 1x |
These numbers are theoretical, in fact for example Photoshop and ImageMagick don't give pixel-wise same results because each program uses own approxmations that has own errors.
Note that in ImageMagick radius is called sigma
, and the value called radius
in ImageMagick actually is not the Blur
radius, but the radius of a convolution matrix (and without special neccesarity one could feel free to set it equal to 0
which means auto-selection of these value).
In Pica and GIMP, USM is applied to the relative brightness to minimize color shift. In Photoshop and ImageMagick, USM is applied to all channels independently.
