What is acutance?

Acutance is how sharp an edge is.

Low acutance is a blurry edge that merges into the next thing in the photo.

High acutance is a sharp edge that is well-defined and clear.

What affects acutance?
Acutance is dependent on the quality of your lens, and on post-processing techniques (e.g. sharpening tools and blurring/ unsharpening tools).
