There's a sharpening method described in the tutorial section of Luminous 
Landscape that does the same thing and is free. It may not be as good in 
other respects as Photokit but it does do that. It also doesn't require 
converting to rgb, which Photokit did when I tried it a year or so ago. Does 
it still require that conversion?

That would be the way to do selective sharpening. Qimage can't as far as
I know and being essentialy a printer program it isn't intended for that
work either. If you sharpen the image selectively or entirely so it
looks sharp on the screen then I wouldn't take the default (5) print
sharpening of Qimage but the 2 at most.
