Extensive Definition
Clarity is the property of being clear or
transparent.
Clarity can refer to one's ability to clearly

the "mind's eye",
as well as the traditional notion of visual
perception, that is, with the actual eyes. Clarity may also
refer more broadly to 'perspicacity', the Zen concept of 'no
mind', or other terms denoting general clear and unperplexed
cognition.
As a technical term of photography and imaging,
clarity refers to sharpness and image
resolution.
As a technical term of some other fields, such as
