Great info
When viewing the photo at 50%, if it looks oversharpened, it probably is. Back off on the amount of unsharp mask. Newsprint can take alot of sharpening, though.
Good Article
This article cleared up some misconceptions I had about the function of the Unsharp Mask
Excellent Primer
Very helpful overview of a fundamental feature in image editing.
Great summary!
Good intro to unsharp masking, something that I have not really understood. I'm assuming that the "Sharpen" filter is doing this exact thing with certain preset conditions. Understanding those conditions (pixel, radius) gives you more control than the canned presets do.
