...is very :thumb: indeed.
Some very clever people there. Almost makes the stupid price of a fully licenced version worth it.

PS Yes, mine is fully licenced. Thank you, Mr Brown, for allowing my company to reclaim a percentage...

Examples? Sounds like just the thing for IT morons like me ;)

Well it gives you a choice of what you want to sharpen - Gaussian blur (usual), lens blur (the natural fuzziness you get with some lenses) and motion blur. You can choose the direction of motion to cut.
You can adjust the ferocity of the sharpening with sliding scales and the preview shows exactly what you're gonna get.
The algorithm seems far less aggressive than regular sharpening and so leaves fewer/less obvious artifacts. Diagonal lines, for example, don't tend to become jagged.
It appeared in my installation of CS2 after running a routine update. Which was impressive as normally Adobe updates do little more than f*ck up my PC...

I usually use the un-sharp command (standard install of CS2 that I'm reluctant to 'upgrade' ;) ;) ). Is it much better than that?

No, I don't think it's better as such, just easier to use, especially if you're in a hurry after shooting, say, 4Gb of pictures over a Superbike weekend and you've got a deadline to hit...
No, I know I don't need to process all of them but I do need to go through them and then choose a dozen or so and then...
