no, not this one. I used your method - unsharp mask with 200%, 0.3 radius, 1 threshold.

Actually I dont pay attention on sharpness, however last time one senior of mine gimme a pointer to do unsharp mask.

1. Use 3 layer. Layer A is your original picture.
Layer B is your unsharp mask picture set in darkening ( instead of normal ) while layer C is your unsharp mask picture set in lightening ( instead of normal )
2. Turn off layer C so only left layer A and B. Play around with the layer B percentage until you achieve your desire amount of sharpening.
3. Turn off layer B and turn on layer C. Play around wif layer C percentage until you achieve your desire amount of sharpening.
4. After that turn on all the layer and merge it.
5. *optional but highligh reccomended* post it here! ^____^

By using this technique you can have more control for the noise that may come because of the sharpening process. Hope this help ^___^

actually, the best way to avoid halos and other sharpening artifacts is to use L*a*b sharpening.

check out this outback photo link. It's quite an interesting read!
