I usually wind up in that same 4-5 range, with some subjects that warrant a preceeding USM at 9-12 threshold.
I rarely sharpen with threshold @ 0
Highly variable depending on the subject, but mine usually goes something like this.
375, .8, 9-12
170, .4, 5
22, 55, 3-20 ... usually followed by fade (typically around 70%) and finished off with a slight contrast reduction (-8) to take a little edge off for a bit easier viewing (optional).
Lately, I\'ve working on sharpening individual layers, like the K in CMYK and the L in LAB. It seems that you can push the neutral layers even harder without incurring horrific penalty ... I\'ll go above 400 and above 1.0 unlike when sharpening RGB. Haven\'t settled on anything for a \'recipe\' with those just yet ... still learning how all the pieces \"play nice\" with each other.
