I am familiar with two types of sharpening with Reshade. I use Lumasharpen in every single game to give me some extra crispness. This one works nearly identical to photoshop in its values so that makes it easy for me to understand. I usually use a high overall amount, but keep the "sharp clamp" pretty low, usually around .30 or .35. Playing with the "Offset Bias" will I believe effect the overall width of the sharp pass. So higher values will cover more pixels, while a lower amount will be more focused. I keep the offset bias usually lower than 1, as anything higher causes the image to look fake.

There is also one you missed and its actually under the "Gauss" shader, and that would be unsharp mask. This is helpful for bringing out larger details, however I have noticed that when combined with other shaders it can get very intense even on low values.

Ill do my best to get you some screen shots of what im talking about as I tend to ramble on...

High CA on screen edges (I can't believe you didn't see it)

Also on shadow edges and objects with high bloom from sun light (Original game CA effect).

Ah yes now I see it but that's almost nothing, you never played a game with strong Chromatic Aberration lol, this is just a pixel wide.
