2. In this tutorial we will show you how to use the
Sharpening tool, which is useful primarily for popping
out highlights on shiny objects, in Photoshop CS3.
Open the image/photo you wish to make the sharpen
effect over.

5. Tip: This tool has a mode option and a pressure
setting. The pressure setting determines how strong
the effect is applied. Remember that with the sharpen
tool, you will want to keep the pressure setting very
low.
Now set the desired values and settings in its options
bar and then drag the image over the area you wish to
sharpen.

7. As you can see above, I chose:
Brush: 36
Mode: Normal
And Strength: 50%
Now lets start sharpening our strawberry:

9. And do not worry if you don't like what you just did, if
you choose Edit/Fade Sharpen tool, immediately after
using this tool, you can change the opacity of the
strokes you have just applied =)
Enjoy!
