Okay, I downloaded a trial of Topaz Vivacity. According to the description it's supposed to:
sharpen edges without artifacts or halos etc
remove noise and preserve detail
remove jpeg artifacts
enlarge images without losing resolution
do cool effects that can't be done in photoshop
this is my test of sharpen:
before, using my software unsharp mask:

and same image using the topaz sharpness filter
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eTzuNZZ7ZF0/S4hKBzyd1QI/AAAAAAAAEvw/abkyu3OKuuA/s800/coffin2.jpg
any thoughts? It's a 30 day trial so I'll be able to really test it.
PS-- I thought that Greg might appreciate the photo. :evil2:
