Marc's sharpening technique

Must have missed what it was, curious to find out, any help?

Here's the link. (Or you can just run a search.) It seems to come up a lot. Must be because it works so well.

It does work great. I use it all the time now. Thanks Marc!

Hmmph. I've been doing my sharpening in a similar way for years. I'd seen several images here where Marc's sharpening was mentioned but never realized this was the same technique. I thought I was the only one who did it this way. Can't remember where I had first read about this technique, but as others have mentioned it works great.

It has been around for many years, it is in the program, this was a trick for designers who had to fix bad photos for print. Most of all the processing techniques that are used for digial photography, have been around for years.

I'd guess Marc wouldn't claim it's his own (well, maybe he came up with it on his own, but I'd guess very little of what you can do in PS is actually original). In any case, he certainly seems to have popularized it around here.

I have tried using Marc's technique in PS2 but cannot get it to work can anyone telll me what ia m doing wrong. I cant even get it to the oversharpened,noisy ,mid-size-image.
