I started using the bleach method you taught me for B&W's at the same time i tried it for colour, it's always worked so well. I have a B&W plugin called Convert to B&W which i now only use for the channel mixing, basically the same as your Channel Mixer step. A possibly quicker way for sharpening a small amount though (instead of blurring out everything BUT what you want to sharpen) is to do the USM layer as you've mentioned, but then do a gaussian blur on a duplicated layer (with mask) then on the mask you simply paint what you want sharp. It's the same as you've described but reverse, if you know what i mean. Sorry for the ramble! Hey Keitha, great tutorial, thanks for posting.
