After trying many of the great sharpening plugins available, I decided to try making one of my own (actions for Photoshop).
It provides selective edge sharpening without adding noise or affecting 'flat areas' (such as the sky).
Additionally it increases the contrast in dark, 'shadowy' areas of the images for a nice effect.
The sharpening is very mild, as I tend not to like oversharpening images.
It's best suited for 2-4 mpixel images. Anything smaller may not work well.
I did this just for fun (that is why it's free) and for my own needs. Give it a try and let me know what you like (or dislike, please be kind )
It's nothing ground breaking, but I think it does a nice job on most images.
