You should try taking this one step further. Open your shot in photoshop and change the color mode from RGB to LAB (Image / Mode / Lab Color mode) , then view the channels and apply the unsharp mask to the L channel only, then change the color mode back to RGB and you will notice the sharpening effect has a lot less noise

Great Tip Kendall, although I use PhotoPaint. I will try this!!
I use corel photo-paint 9 and it is real easy to change color mode to LAB then split the channels and apply sharpening to the L channel only then recombine the channels
By the way, it is only pernitted to use RGB (Normal Mode) for using adjustment layers for DPC entries (as far as I know).
If i'm wrong please tell me.
Never heard that one. but it is just sharpening anyways, not spot sharpening and it will be a RGB when submitted. I really dont see any use in sharpening a DPC submission anyway, since you have to down size it so much to submit it, you wont really effect much by sharpening it. and as far as this method of sharpening, It's best used for printing
