I need some help posting sharp pictures

That's what I understand, too. Sharpening should be the last thing done.

I would like to just say thanks for this tip. I never knew sharpening should be the very last thing you do. Does that go for noise reduction too? I am sorry if I am hijacking this thread. I promise no more questions.

Usually I reduce the noise before sharpening.

Feel free to ask any questions that are on the subject. The only thing it will do is help anyone reading this thread learn and that is what this is all about, Jeff

I don't usually do much with noise reduction, but I do it early on in the workflow. I'm not a scientific type, so if it bothers me as I look at it I deal with it... Agreed on sharpening always being the last step. And I don't save small jpegs at maximum - try 7 and you probably won't see any difference for web use.
