This method is so easy I don't know why I didn't think of posting it earlier. The results can be used as a basis on which to build or sometimes "as is" is just fine.
Guidelines:
* Usually works best on scenery, flowers, buildings -- images with distinct edges.
* Beware: It generally doesn't work well on faces.
Steps:
1. Duplicate Background.
2. Run Find Edges on the duplicated layer.
3. Change the layer blend mode from Normal to Overlay.
In addition you might want to apply Levels and/or Hue/Saturation adjustment layers to the top of the layer stack to increase contrast or boost color saturation.
Check out the last post in this thread for a cool trick!
