Thanks Hacker, have used this before, and the comment about noise and so on is correct, as it has worked for me when the picture seems to have some distance for the subject. I will use a contrast adjustment in noise ninja for my many play pictures, sence they seem to be very messy with detail. I like the high pass method, be it has it's place,"like maybe a spider web taken with a very very thin DOF and surrounded by blurrrrrr.
Don't forget, you can paint in the grey layer to enhance the sharpening affect.
