Meaning of "crisper"

[All Potted Out]

Dear Teachers,

What does "crisper" mean when people say something "comes into crisper focus"? For example:

"The room came into crisper focus as she worked, and a smell like real food began to fill the space."

[Yankee]

Hi apo

It means the same thing as saying "sharper focus".

Err...thanks! But I still don't get it. Does it mean the room looked more clear or what?

Hi apo,

Into crisper focus as Amy has said means in sharper focus, and in this sentence as far as it is possible to guess means that she saw it more clearly. This could be literally and also figuratively in the sense of understanding it better.
