Guys, I believe it's a really a beginer's question, but looks like wavelet sharpening plugin doesn't work for me.

Well, it's actually works GREAT in ASP, BUT when i'm exporting images to fullscale JPEGs - they looks like everything worked fine exept this plugin. Im I missing some toggle/setting/button/anything?

After spending hours on the wavelet sharpening tool, I have to agree it is terrible on foliage, twigs and shrubs. Too hard where it should be gentle blend of leafy shadows, one leaf over another. Sigh! Its bad on rippling ocean surfaces with a mix of green and dark blue too. Just creates a diseased patchy scarred look to what should be a fluid ocean surface.

For portraits, it does a decent job even with larger spaced out leaves in the frame. However I find it better to unsharpen the twinkle in the eye a bit. In some of my portraits, people look like strange characters from the X-files with pinpoint glowing eyes. I find better results with partial use of the wavelet tool and then using the default sharpen tool over it.
