In reply to jakub. It's okay to be a special child. This was a great review.

I dont get it at all. For me, only setting which works is amount around 25-50, radius 0.5, detail 100, masking 0. This somehow corresponds to PS unsharp mask with radius 0.3 which works really well. ANYTHING else makes totally shitty digital looking wet edges look when you zoom in. There could be exeptions – portraits, where you dont want to sharpen all the skin – but you have to make it manualy, the masking function in LR is no help. I understand the big radius sharpening could work for enhancing detailcontrast, but then it must be applied aditionaly to small radius sharpen or you get the totaly no small-scale edges at all. So only option here is unsharp mask in PS again. Large radius is also good when you plan to make a small web picture, but then, much better way is the sharpening on output, which sharpens the precise resolution you want. Large radius could also work if you have misfocused photo or very-high-iso blurry image. NOWHERE ELSE I find reason to use diferent setting than I stated above. Am I missing out something important or why do I think completely different?:)
