Right.  I have used PK Sharpener Pro forever.  I open raw files in ACR 
with zero sharpening, as a last step apply PK capture sharpening and if 
needed high pass sharpening with a mask if needed.  I used to use the PK 
output sharpener, but with the latest cameras and printers (Canon 5D MK 
II and Epson 3880) I see less use for it.
