Anyone scanning negs may be interested in a 'smart sharpening' tutorial I
wrote which shows how it is possible to sharpen aggressively without
introducing noticeable artefacts. The tutorial includes a downloadable
Photoshop action.
The approach taken is similar to the one I use in the 'Deadman's Custom
Sharpen' action which some folks have been using for a while now. If you've
been using that action, this tutorial explains exactly how it works.

the process looks complex at first but is quite simple once you understand
it.
