Margulis begins one of his articles by posing the
question, "How much USM to use?" And his answer is --
it's like asking for a raise. IOW: as much as you
can get away with.
I must admit, some of Margulis' USM techniques go
way over my head. In the article I saw, he elaborates
it into a multi-step process involving several layers,
color spaces, and layer-merging steps.
When it comes to sharpening, there are many ways
to skin the cat. Quite of few of these have been
discussed on the Leben Epson list as well.
