This is no sharpening. It’s contrast. And that can easily be done with Adjust > Brightness&Contrast. So this ‘sharpening’ action is very bad.

Sorry, but it just does not work for me.

Worked great for me. This is an excellent way to sharpen. Thank you.

Sorry Peter, I have tried almost everything to see what might be wrong. I tried the action on different images, downloaded the one found here to see if the zip file is corrupt but I can’t find the problem. The only suggestions that I can possibly make is to redownload the file and try extracting it from the zip file with a different program.

I’m using XP too. Your file is in the exact place that you specified and its title appears in the Actions palette. The circle with the diagonal line across appears against the first three buttons on the palette.

Is there any other requirement in PS to use the action apart from having a picture open?

This action was created with Photoshop 7, however I have tested it under Photoshop CS and it works. Can you give me some more details about your operating system (It was created using Windows XP).

That sounds interesting but although the action appears in my palette I see a circle with a diagonal line through it when I try to use it. No doubt this is something obvious to a more experienced user but could you help me out here.
I do have CS2 and I was using a picture that responded to one of the imbedded actions Close that I tested it with.
