Ever used "Unsharp mask" and had those funny edges around your colours? Here's a way to avoid that.

- Use "Unsharp mask", but only on the "Lightness" channel. This way you won't touch your colours.
- Move back to RGB.
Have fun,

Fred Miranda has sharpening plug-ins that also offer "haloless" sharpening. I am not sure, but I believe that works by asymetrically sharpening the edge. In other words, making a much darker dark side and a not so white light side to the edge. Its that white side to edge sharpening that becomes distracting to the eye.

As far as I can tell it was introduced with Photoshop 5. Dan Margulis' Professional Photoshop 5 book discusses it (at least from what I read on Amazon).
So give what Art suggests here a try, Kodachrome.
Good luck, Jeroen
