1. Open your photo in Photoshop (Not sure how to work this in Elements, but I'll try to find out). Click on "Ctrl+Alt+0" the "0" being the number 0. What this does is allow you to look at your image at 100%. This will really help you see the difference in sharpening. Now, look over to your right and see where your "layers pallette is. Right next to the tab that says "Layers" is a tab that says "Channels". Click on the "Channels" tab. You will see four different Channels labeled "RGB, Red, Green, and Blue". Click on the photos to see larger


2. Go to Image > Mode > Lab color to change lab color mode. You’ll now see that the channels have changed. There’s a Lightness channel with ‘a’ and ‘b’ channels which hold the color data. Do you see what I see here?



Amount: 110%
Radius: 1.0 pixles
Threshold: 0 levels
After you enter the values into the squares, you can see the difference it made by clicking on the little check mark beside "preview" underneath the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. Can you see the difference? Make sure the preview button is checked again and click on "OK".

5. Now you want to change your photo back to color, so go to "Image>Mode>RGB Color" Your photo should revert back to color, and it will be sharper without the "halos" around each pixel. You can save your image now and close it. Save the changes. Wasn't that simple?
