Jack, Picture Window Pro features a function named Advanced sharpening that allows you to selectively smooth grain or apply sharpen based on a "details histogram". The results are quite impressive: it is very easy for instance to smoothen sky while not touching landscape details and conversely sharpen landscape details without messing with the continuous tones on the sky.
