Applies a simple sharpening algorithm to the bitmap.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public void Sharpen(int strength
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - strength
     - Type: System.Int32
The sharpening strength in range `[0, 100]`.
 
## Remarks
 Sharpen algorithm is quite simple and has a single parameter *strength*. You can also use more advanced sharpening method - [UnsharpMask(Single, Single, Single)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_TransformsProvider_UnsharpMask_3_8ebc23ce.htm.md), however it is harder to use.
