Description

Not a shader per-se, but a combination of three shaders. DTD is short for Darken-Thin-Deblur. It tries to restore perceptual quality of lines in blurry images by darkening lines, thinning them and then applying a deblur shader. This undoes what blur does to lines, since blur spreads lines out, thickens them and makes them lighter.

For blurry images, this shader restores perceptual quality better than deblur alone.
