Guys,
Clayton made a significant point that I overlooked - the No.1 variable
should be the type of picture being scanned. I've run into the problem with
having to soften areas and wished I'd thought ahead in my original scan to
leave off or lessen the sharpening. I guess yet another issue is your PS
work practice. Some people build an image from countless layers that they
diddle with endlessly.  I call that digital illustration. Do you want to do
that?
