Hi Tony,
   I find that strange - in my experience the USM of SilverFast (done
   only to Luminance channel of the image) is the best algorithm,
   better than Photoshop's, and it offers much more fine control...
   Are you using some sort of automatic USM, whose parameters get
   decided by the software, not you? I use USM parameters set by me in
   SilverFast, and it produces excellent results.

Best regards,
