I came a cross the Shanghai Technique I have no idea why they call it that. In is strongest form it is like dusting all the contrast lines on an image with black. If you selectively use it can give the illusion of sharpening. In the image that is linked the left hand is all Shanghaied, the middle image is the raw form, and the right image only has the centre area Shanghaied

The procedure is a bit fussy but here is how to do it:
1. Make a duplicate layer of your image
2. Hold down the Control Key and press the letter "I" to invert the image
3. Set the blend mode to linear dodge. Image will
turn white
4. Use the Gaussian blur filter slide to bring forth
some outlines from the white.
5. Make a blank new layer (just click on the new
layer icon at the bottom of the layer palette.
6. Hold down the Alt key and Click on the Layers menu
and scroll down to merge visible.
7. Go to Image/Adjust/Desaturate (In Elements, Enhance/Adjust Color/Remove Color)
8. Go to image/adjust brightness/contrast and up the
contrast to make the outline blacker. (Enhance/Brightness/Contrast)
9. Change blend mode to linear burn.
10. Delete the background copy layer (the
one just above the original.
