TOPAZ

Just heard about this and it looks excellent- according to their website - plus there are quite a few derivatives- anyone got experience? is it worth it and what one to really sharpen an image without artefacts?

got it at focus and looks the business, only played with the masking tool so far

Check out either PK sharpener, or free TLR sharpening.

how are they connected to Topaz or are you offering alternates? cant see a free sharpener being better than PS8 + Topaz together, however I dont know so anyone using it?

They are alternatives to Topaz.

I have the complex Topaz collection but I never use it for sharpening.
I use it primarily for the denoise, adjust and simplify engines.

TBH I find the sharpening function of CS4 as more than adaquete.

They are alternatives, I tried topaz abd didn't like it, I much prefer PK.
