Ade's recommended method (which, by the way, was invented by Thomas Knoll, the inventor of Photoshop!) is the trick for sure...those of us who have been doing digital for a while now have pretty much all found this and swear by it!

I'd say to use Amount 10% to 20%, not just a flat 20% as the article recommends.

I switched form Leica to Canon to be digital, and discovering this trick gave me back that Leica "pop" that I had lost....Leica lenses are more known for contrast than for resolution, and the "local contrast enhancement" provided that feel.
