Have fun
HQ Multipass Luma or RGB sharpen via effect.txt.
Added noise and letterbox effect after it. Because you don't want those effects before sharpening (so disable those on your other fx files, if present, and use the one's included here instead).
Replaces SweetFX Luma sharpen or other additional sharpening effects.
Features:
Advanced Unsharp mask sharpening
> Amount, Radius, Threshold controls like Photoshop
> Edge smoothing (reduces aliasing caused by sharpening)
> Luma (HSL) or RGB blending, luma reduces edge color shifts
> Some controls to output on screen, so you know what you are doing
Shader is beta release, but likely final as I don't know what else to improve on it, but depends on feedback.
I release here the separate shader, as I am not sure I will add to my ENB (Serenity ENB) but it may be useful for others who don't use SweetFX but do like some high quality sharpening, or, who aren't satisfied by SweetFX sharpening in the first place.
PS. Please don't come and ask for adding color correction code into it, that should be added in enbeffect.fx IMO, and can be added there easily. I won't add it to effect.txt, so don't expect reply.
PSS. Disable other sharpening you already have when testing this.
PSSS. All controls are in GUI, File is setup already so just copy into directory and tweak to your preference
PSSSSSS and more S's. Yes it cost performance, some. So if you're concerned with that, get a better GFX card but don't come and ask to make shader faster. It's not about performance, just quality and options. It's pretty optimized already.
That's it.
If releasing in your ENB config, leave credits and all is well.

//UPDATES
Revision 1.0:
Initial release
Revision 1.1:
- Applying sharpening on greyscale only, mixing with new texture then blending with original in HSL Luma channel
- Added control to limit sharpening of highlights
* Updated file below as I accidentally removed RGB sharpen. Should work again
Revision 1.2:
- Now applies sharpening based on Depth information - ie. Ability to apply less (finer) sharpening on distant objects
To clearly see what it does; enable in GUI to see edges and toy with the "Depth Sharpening: Far Depth". Should give some finer control and eliminates halo's of fine distant objects like tree branches and distant LODs when using high amounts of sharpening. More natural result.
