Ok, here's my effort. I've used the High Pass Filter on this set at 0.8 and used the overlay mode.

Re: How would you sharpen this image?

I realize Azz was asking about how we sharpen our images but this image needs other tweaks to improve it. No amount of sharpening will recover the missing detail in the dark jacket. So small tweaks in levels, Highlight/shadows filter and sharpen with Crisp Image Pro (part of the sharpen filter in CS5).

Panasonic Lumix G5
Panasonic 14-140mm
Panasonic 100-300mm
Panasonic Leica DG 25mm f1.4

Re: How would you sharpen this image?

Here is my go:



Used CS5, smart sharpen 122% 1px.

Use smart sharpen for web, however for print I always use high pass after converting to a smart filter to allow tweaking after sharpening.
