I am curious how any of you are sharpening head shot fashion type images. I am trying to advance my PS skills and wanted to hear how you are doing it. I have seen the articles on High pass but most of those are editing in 16 bit. I have also done a search but havent found anything on sharpening specifically for this type of photo. How are those of you that are editing in 8 bit/RGB sharpening your images? I know there is no "silver bullet" but I would appreciate any advice or starting points you may have to get end results like this:
