What do members think of "Smart Sharpen" in CS2? Is it really an improvement on USM? I have found it difficult to use. It takes forever to sharpen even the smallest sections of 16 bit images. I have used many different sharpening methods, including "high pass, hard light" and PK sharpener (which so many rave about). This latter, with its 3 stages, many layers and files getting ever larger, really does make me lose the will to live. After some 5 years, I am not convinced that I can beat judicious use of USM.
I should certainly be pleased to hear your comments.
