In answer to Scott's question, and without seeing the original files, my guess is that Don sharpened the blue channel as that was the channel that held the best edge detail. By sharpening that channel only, Don could bring back some of the edge detail that was lost after using the gaussian blur tool. If I'm wrong I'm sure Don will correct this statement.
