Adjust Sharpness - Amount

I just started using the Adjust Sharpness instead of the Unsharp Mask. I read somewhere that the Amount percentage would be lower in Adjust Sharpness than in Unsharp Mask to get the same result from the same radius setting. However, that doesn't seem to be true for me so far (just beginning). If anything, maybe the opposite has been true so far. What have your experiences been in using these two methods??

Adjust Sharpness is the same as Smart Sharpen in photoshop cc, so if you look up Photoshop Smart Sharpen you'll get a lot more results.

 

Photoshop elements uses the Lagacy version, so there is no Noise slider.

I took your suggestion. For years I have used a Kelby Unsharp Mask setting of Amount 95, Radius 1, Threshold 4 as my default. To get the simiiar sharpening with Adjust Sharpness, I find I need an Amount of 120 with a Radius of 1.
