Sharpen works with ylevels, but differences are big: With ylevels sharpening affects more mid-detail rather than fine-detail and creates much stronger halos with my full-HD footage. On the chroma side there was no visible improvement.

I donīt know what it is in this old code of Step 1 but with no other solution I tried before have I seen this special micro-contrast enhancement affecting only fine structures and giving a perception I would describe as 'discreet bottom-up' sharpness - for anyone who likes it - of course.
You should note that Ylevels truly is a set of 4 functions. Must try which one fits your needs.
