It actually works pretty well. Try a radius of about 65 or so, amount of
30 and threshold of 1.
Paint Shop Pro has a built in function they call "clarify" that appears
to do just about the same thing.
The visual effect is more subtle than the contrast adjustment. Almost
like cleaning your lens. Try it. You may like it.
