2. Duplicate Background layer [Ctrl+J] 
3. Open Unsharp Mask dialog (Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask).
4. In the dialog box, move the Amount and Radius (sharpening
range) sliders to get the best possible result.
Then use the Threshold slider to reduce the noise.
5. You can reduce the Unsharp Mask effect by using Fade command [Shift+Ctrl+F] or, by changing opacity of Layer 1 in the Layers palette as it is shown in the movie.
6. Sharpening filters may cause such side-effects as noise, border stripes, etc. You
can heal minor areas manually with Blur 
Tool (view animation on the
next page), History Brush 
or Eraser 
Tool (movie).
