What is your recommended method for this? I currently use Highpass filter in layers, but is there another, simpler but effective method?

Does that work in layers? Must admit I have never used it as I always use USM to sharpen the whole image as a final step before saving/uploading.

Quote: You could sharpen the whole picture then using a mask delete areas you don't want sharpened. I usually use USM, unless there are lots of straight lines when I use HP.

True, Chris....what are the advantages of using HP when there are lots of straight lines? Is it just beacause of the regular shapes that make it easier to use the brush tool?

I find smart sharpen tens to leave out of focus areas alone, but I have not used it enough to say that for definite.
