Step 13
If you still do not have enough contrasting edges in the image, you can repeat the “Find edges” action until you have reached the desired setting. You will soon see a real change.

Step 14
Because you want to have a smooth transition between the white and the black areas of the picture at this point, you will have to blur the image so to hide the actual sharpening of the edges. You can use a Gaussian blur to achieve this (Filter->Blur-> Gaussian Blur).

Step 15
Select a small amount of blur so that only the margins are blended in a way pleasant to the eye. For example, you can use a value of between 2 and 4 pixels.

Step 16
After you have performed these steps, you need to tell the software that the “Sharpening Mask” you have worked on until now is just a mask. You will need to select only the black bits on the image.
