I read in a guide on USM by Martin Evening that the resolution of the
image file dictates what will be effective sharpening settings. That
means that your sharpening sequences will have to be adjustable to be
effective at different sizes of output for the same resolution (I hope
that that makes sense). I have found the FM machine to be very useful
for my web-sized images. I tend not to sharpen the large files.
