The better way is via Unsharp Mask, which is a more sophisticated approach that can be varied according to the subject matter.

Hope this is not too dumb a question but....
I have recently purchased Elements 7 and am beginning to get to grips with it but I can't quite work out the difference between Sharpening and Unsharp Mask. It may be my untrained (or old!) eyes but I can't really see the difference.
When should I use one or the other of these tools and what are the advantages or disadvantages of them?
Cheers
John
