....I've never used the HPF before and tried it for grins on this photo.

My issue is the ghosting around the edges (prominent around wing point) of the Cardinal....I've tried a few things to remove this affect w/out success.
Anybody using PS CS3 on a PC have a solution? I'll accept solutions from Mac users also....[:D]
Thanks for your input
Bill
Try this starting with the original image:
1) Create a duplicate layer.
2) Do the desired HPF.
3) Desaturate the layer.
4) Set the blending mode to "Soft Light"
See if that helps.
Thanks Sean....I'll give your suggestion a try and let you know.

Sean....just an FYI....your suggestion did remove the halo.
Thanks
I'm just curious who is using the High Pass Filer in PS? I had never heard of it until this thread so I looked it up. From what I read it sounds like a great way to apply sharpening. What does everyone think?
I use it to selectively sharpen places in an image that need it. Sometimes an eye will be slightly out of focus, so I'll do the steps I listed above, apply a mask, then paint in the areas I need sharpened. Then you can adjust the opacity for the best natural look. In fact, I did it most recently on this image (Amber's right eye was just a tad out of focus):

So like Sean said it is best to use it on certain areas. I like to use it when I've shot something with ring light since that tends to flatten subjects out I can put some contrast back in with out losing the ring light affect.
