I use strength 100, radius 1, threshold 1 for the Epson 2450 and next for every halving of image size (linearly) 25 to 30 works well. If your scanner adds its own sharpening, the initial value should be less for strength. The fine detail just seems to bubble up through the various downsizings.

I find that the first sharpening, that applied to the image from the scanner, needs much larger strength and radius values than the second and later sharpenings. Do you turn on sharpening in the scanner? No, I don't. You never know when you'll need an image _without_ sharpening (remember,
