High Pass Sharpening.
Sharpening is the detailed method of increasing the contrast between two objects, usually isolated to the point at where they meet. What this means is that to sharpen an image, you simply darken the lines and lighten the areas around them.
If the lines are light, you brighten them even more and darken the areas around them. This makes them stand out more. When lines stand out more, the photo looks sharp.
