Reading this and trying to understand exactly what you meant, I was wishing you had posted an example of your layers.....and then I came to the last sentence!!!!
I look forward to your example....you have a much better understanding of all things technical than I do. Take your time....as I pride myself for being a patient person....in most instances anyway....

Here are the screenshots.
Starting from a type of image in which lines and contours are not obvious (first sun rays in a dark street). The first high pass layer is set at 3 pixels radius. The gradient is the default black to white gradient. I move the white tab to the middle (50%) and the black one to about 55%.

This is great, Michel. Thank you. If you have it available could you post the final results?
I look forward to trying your method and will post the image when I do. Have to find the type of image you suggest to try it on.

The final result is the third image (the sketch effect). I suggest trying a high pass setting with a big radius (30) and using another gradient: white still at 50% and black at 35%. (You can set the dark tab at dark sepia instead of black and maybe add some texture).

Oh I was confused. I had thought you were using the addition of the gradient map to the high pass layer to improve that as a sharpening feature. I see now that you were using it to create the sketch effect. My apologies. Here is the original image I used and the resulting sketch.   |

Excellent choice for the original and very convincing sketch result!  |
