    I find values up to 2 good for sharpening. Using a larger filter size doesn't just sharpen, but accentuates the lighting, which isn't always wanted. I used a large 58 (or so) pixel filter on AnGelo's Spice picture to help bring out the shading, which was very subtle on the original.

    But, yes, by all means, play with the slider, and try all the blending modes too! Sometime a larger filter can ruin one photo, but can make another great. The best way to learn to predict what will happen is to play with it.

    I agree, sometimes the HPF is overkill. My HPF action can leave halos as well. It's very image specific. I also find I use it rarely with the 6D. The shots seem plenty sharp SOOC.
