The Smart Sharpening software plugin enhances image sharpness by focusing only on the edges.
What makes the Smart Sharpening plugin so impressive is the fact that, despite producing equal amounts of sharpness when compared to other methods, the level of noise within the image is noticeably less. This can be easily observed when examining specific elements of the image, such as the hand of a guitar player, for example.
To use the Smart Sharpening plugin, you will require GIMP 2.x. Once installed, simply copy the script to your GIMP scripts directory. Generally, this should be located at ~/.gimp-2.2/scripts, although if you wish to use the script system-wide then the directory may be named something similar to /usr/share/gimp/2.2/scripts.
