Advice on sharpening with PS elements 5, please.

[Magpie70]

Hi, I would really appreciate any advice on the best/ quickest way to sharpen images, shot in raw, using PS elements 5. I have used auto sharpen in the past, but is this the best method, or are there alternatives that give better results?
Any advice would be very welcome cheers, Mark.

I'd try smart sharpening, perhaps using high pass shapening with it. I use that (with an extra layer on top to protect non-edge areas) and it works best for me most of the time.
