High Pass Filter
The High Pass Filter sharpens the image by
passing high frequency information in the image. This is also
sometimes called a "crispening" filter. The degree of enhancement
ranges from 0% (no sharpening) to 100% (maximum sharpening) as
controlled by two properties: The Filter Type property changes the
size of the local neighborhood used to calculate the high-pass
value. The Strength property determines the proportion of sharpened
image mixed with the original image. In general, the stronger the
enhancement, the greater the increase in sharpness but also the
greater the appearance of ringing artifacts surrounding sharp
features. This filter is computed faster than the
Unsharp Mask but adds more noise. Use it for quick
crispening of image details.

The High Pass Filter command opens from
the Image Window > Process >
Filters menu and button
on the Main Toolbar. The "immediate"
form, shown first, opens when an image or image set is displayed in
the top-most window. The general form can be used to select source
images from folders, windows, or by matching templates.
