All digital images benefit from sharpening, because they are deliberately softened to reduce jagged sloping lines. The Unsharp Masking filter is the best to use for this, because you have complete control over the process.
Firstly, make sure you're viewing your image at 'Actual Pixels' or 100%. This is important, because only then will you be able to see the effects of the sharpening.
Now open the filter (filter > sharpen > unsharp mask)
Set radius to 1.0 pixel, and threshold to 0 levels - you won't need to use any other settings. Make sure the 'Preview' box is checked.
Now fiddle with the 'Amount' slider and watch your main image. You'll see as you increase the amount the image appears to become 'sharper'. Use your judgement, somewhere between 100% and200% would be a good starting point, but it varies and only you can decide.
