Attention to detail

Achieve perfection through two unique stages of sharpening.

First, Nik Pre-Sharpener intelligently extracts the correct level of detail from an image file.

The second stage — Nik Sharpener Output — applies a precise amount of sharpening to suit the image’s intended purpose, whether that’s a home printer, a professional lab, or a high-definition display.

Selective Sharpening

Sometimes, you might only need to sharpen a small area of an image. Selective sharpening can be a great means of directing a viewer’s attention to a particular detail, or making one feature stand out.

As seen across Nik Collection, Nik Sharpener uses U Point™ technology, intelligent local adjustments that allow you to target specific areas of an image.
