I don't use any sharpening in C1. In PS I use this technique.
This is from Deke McClelland's book Photoshop Bible but I've seen variations elsewhere. This works very well on things like textured trees against smooth sky.
1/ Duplicate one of the colour channels. Choose which gives best results. It will be the one with least detail in smooth areas like sky. Select it.
2/ > Filter > Stylise > Find edges
3/ > Image > Adjust > Invert
4/ > Filter > Noise > Median (try 2)
5/ > Filter > Other > Maximum (try 2)
6/ > Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur (try 2)
7/ Return to the colour view in channels
8/ Apple + click on the mask name.
9/ Filter > Sharpen > USM (Threshold zero)
Choose your own numbers.
Hope this helps.

Hello Everybody,
I would be please to read about your sharpening defaults settings with 1Ds and C1.
I used to work with the Phase One's defaults: amount of 25 and 3 as a threshold but on many sculpture shoots I had the edges sharps but missed some sharpness in some defects and details in the material. So I set to 50/0. It looks better but I would like read about some advices.
Thanks.
