The Unsharp Mask node applies an unsharp mask filter to the input image. Unsharp masking (USM) is an image sharpening technique, often available in digital image processing software. The "unsharp" of the name derives from the fact that the technique uses a blurred, or "unsharp", negative image to create a mask of the original image.
