What Unsharp Mask settings are used to clarify the pattern?
After the Turing-like maze pattern has formed, the Unsharp Mask filter is applied with an Amount of 200%, a Radius of 200.0 Pixels, and a Threshold of 0 levels. This heavily enhances the contrast between the black and white regions, making the pattern lines sharper and more distinct without changing the underlying topology.
Conditions
- Applied after the repeated Turing-pattern cycle.
- Used to make the black-and-white maze edges clearer.
Reasoning, step by step
- Open Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask.
- Set Amount to 200%.
- Set Radius to 200.0 Pixels.
- Set Threshold to 0 levels.
- Confirm to see stronger edge contrast in the maze pattern.
Example
The Unsharp Mask dialog shows Amount: 200 %, Radius: 200.0 Pixels, Threshold: 0 levels. After confirmation, the maze edges become crisper and the black-white separation looks cleaner.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that sharpening changes the pattern generation process; it only improves visual legibility.
- Confusing the Unsharp Mask radius (200.0 Pixels) with the Gaussian Blur radius (3.0 Pixels).
