Then you apply the right amount of sharpening. There is no one set of numbers that will give you best results on all images, you just need to work with each one. Once you do it enough you get the hang of it and eventually get pretty good at "predicting" the right settings. The trick is always NOT to over sharpen. -J Melissa,

You are looking for two things, first to isolate those areas you want sharpened and second to get the best definition of those areas using the radius and detail sliders. Then you apply the right amount of sharpening.

The trick is always NOT to over sharpen.

Was Detail changed after Radius? The Detail screen shot shows some magnification of the edges, but the Detail slider is still at 35, where it started. Was Detail changed after Radius?
