Wavelet Sharpening

Multi-scale frequency decomposition that enhances planetary detail at specific size scales without artifacts

How It Works

1

Image decomposed into 6 frequency layers using à trous wavelet transform

2

Layer 1: Single pixels (1px scale) - finest noise and detail

3

Layer 2: 2×2 pixel blocks - fine texture like Jupiter cloud wisps

4

Layer 3: 4×4 pixel blocks - medium detail like Saturn ring gaps

5

Layer 4: 8×8 pixel blocks - larger structures like cloud bands

6

Layer 5-6: 16-32px blocks - broad features like planet limb

7

Each layer enhanced with independent sharpen/denoise sliders

8

Layers recombined additively to create final enhanced image

Pro Tips

  • -Start conservative: sharpen 0.08-0.12, denoise 0.03-0.07 per layer
  • -Layer 1 mostly noise - use sparingly (sharpen <0.05) or skip entirely
  • -Layers 2-3 contain most planetary detail - primary enhancement target
  • -Always pair sharpening with denoising to control artifacts
  • -Process iteratively: small adjustments, check result, repeat
  • -Over-sharpening creates 'ringing' halos around edges - reduce if visible
