17    The <guimenuitem>Sharpen</guimenuitem> command reduces the amount of
18    blur or fuzziness around the edge of a selection. It reverses the effect
19    of the <link linkend="gimp-selection-feather">Feather Selection</link>
20    command. The new edge of the selection follows the dotted line of the
21    edge of the old selection. Anti-aliasing is also removed.
