Abstract
In some examples, luminance-biased sharpening for thermal media printing may include converting an input image to a grayscale luminance representation. For each pixel of a plurality of specified pixels of the converted input image, a sharpening lightness value may be determined. Further, for each pixel of the plurality of specified pixels of the converted input image, a ratio of the sharpening lightness value to a corresponding original lightness value may be determined. Based on the determined ratio, a sharpened output image corresponding to the input image may be generated.
