I don't think this is on par with good-tutorials quality and I certainly wouldn't have it published. It is just a tutorial that shows you a different way of adjusting contrast and sharpness. Once you get to step 5, the creative part, it basically tells you to go figure out the rest on your own.
Useful for the high pass, less so for the curves (though still useful to a point - just could have explained better).
The last step is very confusing, it was the most important step and it wasn't explained at all. Disappointing as that type of effect is something I'd like to know more about.
I dont disagree, but photoshop users need to learn to experment in order to truly learn how to use these tools, give them ideas and push them to try new things not just to read steps and replicate without understanding

Very popular effect explained, but the last step is rather confusing. Try explaining what steps you took to achieve the effect and this will be a handy tutorial.
