The First Sharpening

The Second Sharpening
Go back into the "Filter" menu. Again, go to "Sharpen" and click on "Unsharp Mask." Enter 150 for Amount, 0.3 for Radius and 0 for Threshold. Go into the "Edit" menu and select "Fade Unsharp Mask" or press Shift-Control-F. Enter an opacity of 100 percent and select "Darken," then press "OK."
The Third Sharpening
Go to the "Filter" menu and select "Sharpen." Click on "Unsharp Mask." Enter 150 for the Amount, 0.3 for the Radius and 0 for the Threshold. Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Fade Unsharp Mask" or press Shift-Control-F. Enter 50 percent for opacity and select Lighten, then press "OK." Click on the "Layer" menu and select "Merge Visible" or press Shift-Control-E and save the image.
