How to use kernels larger than 10 in unsharpmask?

[thodberg]

I have never been able to use a kernel size larger than 10
when I use the commandline tool -unsharp.

What is the reason for this limitation?

In photoshop it is possible to use a radius/kernel size
larger than 10 and through this it is possible to obtain
effect that is similar to what is optained through
a high pass filter. For this reason it would be interesting
to use -unsharp with a kernel larger that 10.

What happens when you try and what is your command line?

It seems to work for me, but not much difference after 10.

I think you need to play with the other parameters (sigma, amount, threshold)

If you use sigma rather than radius, ie. 0xsigma, then you get an effect similar to Photoshop

Amount and threshold are available in ImageMagick (e.g. -unsharp 0x1+amount+threshold).
