I would think that large format might not need sharpening if shot properly. Depends what you're going for but I use cs3 and find it to be quite adequate. How are you scanning?
These glass plates are over 100 years old..6 x 8 plates.
I don't use a third-party plug in, I use unsharp mask in Photoshop. But since no one has really responded to your question the plug-ins that a lot of people seem to use are PK Sharpen from Pixel Genius and NIK Sharpener. I did just download the free sharpening tools from www.thelightsrightstudio.com but haven't tried them yet. They look interesting but there isn't a lot of information about how to use them.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
The best approach yet devised, in my opinion, is that by Bruce Fraser, where he divides the sharpening workflow in 3 steps: capture sharpening, creative sharpening and target (output) sharpening. He wrote a very good book on the subject. For vast amounts of info on the subject go to the forums at luminous-landscape.com.
Many thanks to all.
