I'm really glad to hear that.  It's always nice when I get a bit of
positive feedback.  (Publicly, no less... ;-))

Unsharp masking is a tricky process.  It is dependent upon many factors,
including image native resolution, color range (or monochrome), type of
subject matter, file format the image is going to be stored in after
USM, personal preferences, etc.  There are some tutorials on the web
which can help, (I think there are some on the Adobe site and others)
but a lot is about trial and error and just learning how each slider works.
