    Could use some help developing a PP flow for wildlife

    My PP is very helter skelter. I have not been able to establish a good flow on what works best or maybe I should say what steps to do first, second, etc. that yields the best quality for a given photo.
    I know the basic rules like sharpen last, don't over do the saturation.

    For your outdoor and wildlife shots what is your PP flow or steps?

    Here is what I usually do. Critiques, questions welcome.
    In Raw:
    Adjust WB if required
    Adjust exposure if required
    Convert to jpeg full size

    In jpeg:
    Adjust levels if required (mostly for contrast and brightness)
    Adjust curves if required (mostly for mid tone enhancement)
    Add or subtract saturation if required
    Hi pass sharpen (radius ~5 pixels, Opacity ~40%)
    Save AS jpeg for resizing
    Resize for web or print.
    Selective sharpen: Lasso specific areas and unsharp mask (120%, Radius 0.7,Thresold level 0-5) Invert the selection and gaussian blur the background (radius 2-4 pixels) to remove noise and increase bokeh.

    Upload to PR and post in N&W forum for feedback.

    All comments, questions, PP lists welcome.
    Thank you for your time...
