I've been housebound for nearly 7 months and I have had plenty of time to explore the capabilities of PS (ever since I subscribed last November). I know what many of the various functions do, at least as well as Adobe will let me know. That includes the various sharpening functions. However, as far as I know, Photoshop has no plug in which will do wavelet sharpening (I could be wrong) but as I have recently posted Paint Shop Pro does. http://aftershotpro.com/plugins/index.html?plug=waveletsharpen3
There are other plugins for PSP for which, as far as I know, there are no equivalents in PS.

Technology for ³Edge Avoiding Wavelets² is in the improved new Sharpen Tool in Photoshop CS5 and its ŒProtect Detail¹ feature ‹ technology licensed from Yissum Research Development in Jerusalem, Israel.OK, it's there. But well hidden and with it's name disguised.
and for plug-ins, this goes back nearly 20 years, for photoshop 5 (not cs5): <http://cas.ensmp.fr/~chaplais/Photoshop_Wavelet_Workout/>The Mac stuff is interesting but of no use to me. But I didn't know of the embedded wavelets and I am grateful to you for letting me know of their presence.
also: <http://www.topazlabs.com/vivacity/> The wavelet-based filter in Vivacity offers quick and effective noise reduction that does not destroy detail. Learn more about the new Topaz DeNoise.
and fwiw: <http://www.neatimage.com/mac/features.html> Neat Image incorporates the most advanced noise reduction algorithms in the industry that surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods and even that of the wavelet-based methods. Although the wavelet-based methods were developed relatively recently, Neat Image uses an even newer and more efficient approach to noise reduction.
