I ran it today for the first time and I must say I'm baffled regarding the results. I ran it on an un-edited low compression 4Mp jpeg and regardless of the settings it seems to totally butcher the image. The threshold at any point other than 100 creates nasty gray posterized areas across highlights and even with deblur set to 0.1 high contrast edges acquire a nasty dark edge. Any hints?
Cheers, Rob Studdert I find it works better with larger images. Try a starting point of deblur of 1.5-2.5 threshold between 2-10. I have started sharpening a duplicate layer then decreasing the opacity to 50-75% then flattening as sometimes the effect is too strong for my taste. Having said that I like the effect better then straight USM. One other thing is that is does seem a bit more touchy with B&W images.
