Hello everyone. I did this as an answer to another posters request for sharpening help. Hope it can help you too. There is NO sharpening answer that works for every image, but this is a quick action that can work wonders. I made it after trying several versions, finally combining the best parts of each into one Photoshop action. This was designed in CS3, so it should work well in CS4 as well - but I'm not sure about previous versions (ie. CS2, CS1, etc).
The PS Action is available for free as a download from my site. Let me know if you have any questions or problems. I'm always glad to help. http://sixtyonenorth.com/wp/2009/11/high-pass-sharpening-action/

Just to pass along a question that came up. With the way this action is set up, you will NEED more than 1 layer to run this action. So, if you only have a background layer - just add a new empty layer and run the action. Easy peasy.
For those that want to be able to adjust the "High Pass" filter amount, just click the dialog box to the left of "HIGH PASS - Radius: 4 pixels, this will allow you to set your own value.

Some have asked how to install the actions. All Photoshop actions are platform independent, meaning they will work on both Mac and PC. Once you download the action, unZIP it and then double click on the action. It should automatically open Photoshop (if closed) and auto install in the correct folder. Hope this helps.
