A couple of interesting and useful freeware Photoshop plug-ins..
I've been looking for ways to improve my nature photography in particular and ran across these freeware (donationware) plug-ins that I have found quite useful for sharpening images without the artifacts that many "regular" sharpening algorithms impart to my images.

The first is Local Contrast Enhancement..

And the second is High Pass Sharpening..

Here is an example of local contrast sharpening on a photo of a finch on my feeder, original, cropped and scaled to 50% on the left and sharpened on the right.



There are also some other interesting plug-ins at the site, I suggest you check them all out.
