CS4 Panels Make Sharpening Easier

There's a new set of Photoshop .SWF panels for Adobe CS4 that consolidate capture, creative, and output sharpening in one small, dockable panel.

The functionality comes from the action sets in the TLR Professional Sharpening Actions collection. Instead of choosing from nearly two hundred sharpening actions, you can select the sharpener you want with just a few clicks. Sometimes all you need is a single click.
The settings are sticky. So, if you use the same settings all the time, they'll be remembered from one session to the next. The panel(s) are dockable. That makes them available anytime you open Photoshop.
All three sets of sharpeners are available from just one panel (which uses a tabbed navigator). If you only want one or two sets -- maybe you use ACR or LR for creative or output sharpening -- there are panels for the individual sets, too. You can even dock them together.
As with all of the TLR tools, this is a free download. .SWF panels are only compatible with Photoshop CS4.

I plan on adding .SWF panels for all of the TLR scripts and nearly all of the TLR Photoshop actions. .SWF panels make it possible to tie together many Photoshop action sets for a comprehensive digital photographer's toolkit.
Enjoy!
Comments and suggestions are welcome!

I rewrote all of the action calls. They will expand the action set(s). But the actions will run without expanding. This is much tidier.
