# Texture and Edge Sharpen

In many photo editing applications, the sharpening tools only affect the edges in an image. In Astra Image, this tool lets you sharpen both textures and edges at the same time which can lead to a dramatic enhancement.

**Texture Sharpness**\
This sets the strength of the sharpening effect for textures.

**Texture Size**\
Smaller values will result in smaller details being enhanced, while larger values will result in larger details being enhanced. After changing this value, please click the 'Update' button to re-compute the texture size filter.

**Edge Sharpness**\
This sets the strength of the sharpening effect for edges.

**Edge Radius**\
Smaller values will result in smaller edges being enhances, while larger values will result in larger edges being enhanced. Please click 'Update' after changing this setting.

**Suppress Halos**\
When checked, halos around strong edges will be reduced which often results in a better image.
