Created attachment 160836 [details] enlargement about 300 % I wanted to sharpen a picture and I decided to take the tool "unsharp mask". Instead of sharpend borders I got the same borders as before but white and black spots on over- and underexposed places.
This kind of side effect is normal with unsharp-mask mechanism. Try the refocus tool, or better the GMicQt plugin available in AppImage bundle. Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 160840 [details] Screenshot_20230808_192751.png Hi Gilles, Thank you for the very quick response. I tried the refocus tool, but I did not find any adjustment which made the picture better. Then I downloaded DigiKam.appimage 8.1 and I installed it. Now I am looking for the GMicQt plugin and cannot find it. Another Question: Is there an adjustment to see the pixels in very great enlargements (See my attachment)? In DigiKam it seems, that the pixels are smoothed.

GMicQt is in Image Editor only: https://docs.digikam.org/en/image_editor/enhancement_tools.html#g-mic-qt-tool Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 160886 [details] Screenshot_20230808_192751.png Hi Gilles, thank you for the hint to the DigiKam-Manual. Now I found, that I have already been working with the GMicQt plugin. The difficulty for me was, that the warning on over- and under-exposure ist switched on by default. I found it out by accident, I pressed F10 and F11 and everything was good. But it would help a lot working with sharpening-tools, no matter which, when one could switch the pixels "on" as to see in my attachment. With the visible pixels you can see exactly when the sharpness is good and when you sharpen too much. Where did the developers of DigiKam hide this switch? It should be in the Image Editor somewhere in the "view"-Menü. Best regards Ernst
The Unsharped Mask filter from the new GmicQt 3.3.7 integrated in next digiKam 8.4.0 generate excellent results. https://i.imgur.com/syULTxi.png Gilles Caulier
