Important results below are shown in Bold. The most important is MTF50, without and with Standardized sharpening. Its<br />

relationship with print quality is discussed in Interpretation of MTF50. The contents of the plots are affected by whether or not<br />

Standardized sharpening is checked in Settings section of the SFR input dialog box. Differences in plot content are indicated by [Std<br />

Sharpening checked] or [Std Sharpening off].<br />

Edge profile for the luminance (Y) channel,<br />

where Y = 0.3*R + 0.59*G + 0.11*B. Original<br />

(without standardized sharpening).<br />

The edge profile shown on the right is proportional<br />

to the light intensity. You may also select to display<br />

the Line Spread Function (LSF; the derivative of<br />

the edge profile), shown on the right, below, or<br />

Pixel levels (which includes gamma-encoding).<br />

Edge profile for the luminance (Y) channel with<br />

standardized sharpening, indicated by (corr) for<br />

"corrected." Radius R used for setting standardized<br />

sharpening is displayed. Defaults to 2, but may set<br />

manually; may be larger for unusually broad<br />

transitions (poor MTF response). [Std Sharpening<br />

checked]<br />

Edge profile [Standardized sharpening on]<br />

Individual edge profiles for R, G, and B channels. Shown more prominently in the Chromatic Aberration plot, below. Barely<br />

visible in this illustration because this camera has very little chromatic aberration. <strong>Imatest</strong> Master only.<br />

Title, including measurement orientation. (A vertical edge is used for a horizontal profile.)<br />

Image height (H) or Width x Height (WxH) in pixels<br />

Channel. Defaults to Y (luminance). R, G, or B are also available.<br />

Gamma is an estimate of camera gamma used to linearize the image. Defaults to 0.5.<br />

Region of interest (ROI) size in pixels<br />

ROI location in percentage of distance from center to corner.<br />
