According to Fred's site, Intellisharpen Pro Plugin v1.1 works only with
8 bit in PS 6, 7 and Elements, and 16 bit only with CS.
Now you have me wondering if mine is the latest version. Do plug-ins
show up as actions in the Actions window? Mine says v1.1 in line 2 after
the copyright line. I have run into occasions where I didn't think his
sharpener was as good as doing it myself, but I will try it out more.
May have been on high speed film, and I see he has a special USM
function for them now. Certainly the background noise difference is
impressive in your example.
Thanks for the work.
