That's interesting Moose as I use IS II quite a bit. I have some
settings saved for my normal output (low ISO digital, high ISO digital
and similar for scanned images) which I apply, tweak down using your
technique and save. I find myself attenuating the effect to between 30
and 50% most of the time. I suppose I like using it as it reduces the
decisions that I have to make with Filter>Sharpen>USM.
But Save for the Web (and, by inference, Web Presenter) leave me cold.
I cannot see the point in doing anything other than a single-step
reduction in size, using Bicubic Smoother, to 600-800 pixels in width,
followed by a bit (just a bit) of sharpening. Can you persuade me of
the need to use anything more complicated? ;-)
