Alfred's query regarding USM. We ended up discussing HPS & USM and the qualities of both. I know what Floyd was talking about.

Then why are you rabitting on about non-destructive work flows?

Because there is more to this thread, and NG than the arcane pontificating of Floyd D, and more over he, or anybody else here doesnâEUR(Tm)t control the flow and drift of any thread.

There is much more to post processing than FloydâEUR(Tm)s way of doing things. Even though he denies the reality of the tools available to the Photoshop user.

You and nospam continue to try shifting everything to the one thing you claim to know, which is how to read an Abobe user manual.

Nobody has denied that Photoshop users can do this or that. The problem is that Photoshop's capabilities, or lack thereof, are not the topic in this thread no matter how limited your personal horizons are.

The topic was sharpening, and the differences in ways to do that. Abobe's programs are not even close to the only way to sharpen. In fact *most* users that actually get into the more sophisticated aspects of sharpening cease using anything that Abobe provides for that purpose, and shift to better tools.

Generic atributes of sharpen tools can and should be discussed absent references to specific implementations. When specific attributes are discussed it doesn't make a great deal of sense to look at low end products designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, as might well be discussed in your "Abobe Tools for Dummies" manual.
