Step Two: I then double-clicked the dupli- cate layer to open the Layer Style options. I set the layer Opacity to 66% and the blend Mode to Overlay. I then adjusted the Blend If sliders below (as described earlier). The idea here was to fade out the sharpening effect on the highlights and preserve the shadow detail in the unsharpened Background layer. This concentrated the output sharpening effect on the midtone areas only.
Step Three: Next, I applied the Unsharp Mask filter to the layer using an Amount of 320, Radius of 0.6, and Threshold of 4. I then chose Edit>Fade Unsharp Mask, changed the blend Mode to Luminosity and reduced the Opacity to 70%.
Step Four: I then went to the Filter menu, chose Other>High Pass, and applied a Radius of 2 Pixels.
