Sharpener Pro 3.0 Workflow
Start by applying RAW presharpening with the RAW Presharpener 
filter, if desired. Next, after applying light, color, and stylizing 
effects, perform device specific output sharpening and creative 
sharpening with the Output Sharpener. 
For best results in Sharpener Pro 3.0, perform the tasks below  
in the given order:
1.   Select the filter to apply to the image from the Filter menu  
or the Selective Tool.
2.  Adjust the filter controls.
3.   Use U Point powered control points, to selectively apply  
or control the sharpening effect if desired.
4.  Review the image in the Loupe.
5.  Apply the filter.
Note: When using the RAW Presharpener, turn off any sharpening 
in the RAW processor. To achieve optimal results with the Output 
Sharpener, resizing should be done prior to performing final 
output sharpening as the size of the image will impact the amount 
of sharpening applied to the image.
