Detail Brush Options

Operation	Select the operation would you like to perform: Blur Sharpen
Tool settings	If you selected Sharpen, set the following:
	Radius	Controls the number of pixels to adjust around each edge. Higher values increase the number of sharpened pixels and tend to bring out coarser detail, while lower values reduce the number of sharpened pixels and tend to bring out finer detail.
	Threshold	Specifies how different the pixel lightness values within an edge must be before the pixels within the edge are sharpened. Higher values sharpen only stronger edges but minimize the appearance of noise. Lower values sharpen both strong and weaker edges, but can increase the appearance of noise. We recommend you set the threshold to enhance edges while keeping background noise to a minimum.
Brush settings	Nib Width	Drag the slider to select a brush size.
	Feathering	Drag the slider to soften the edges of your strokes.
	Strength	Drag the slider to determine the strength of the sharpening or blurring.

You can also type a number into the number box and incrementally make precise adjustments.

You can right-click a slider to reset to the default value.
