Haven't seen any other responses Walter, so here's my opinion, FWIW!
I tried the methods discussed, on an image taken in brilliant light with a
good lens, so there wasn't much apparent need for significant sharpening.
Initially, I was unhappy with the edge artefacts the first pass produced,
but these were minimised with the second pass: overall the results were
good.
I then tried the same image with my usual sharpening technique (100-150%,
radius 1, threshold 0) and got very similar results with just one pass.
I noticed that someone recently noted sharpening of 60%, radius 5 and
threshold 45(?) on an image, and I wonder what the accepted wisdom is on the
list WRT USM?
I'm always impressed with, amongst others, the sharpness and smoothness of
Bruce Dayton's presentations, which I would love to be able to emulate (you
can take a bow, Bruce!)

Anyone try the sharpening technique of Benjamin Kanarek on the Pentax Life
website?
I tried it on a few shots and just the two stage unsharp mask technique
looked pretty good. The additional layers merge was hit or miss depending
on
the subject.
