is it better to resize the image before sharpening or apply sharpening first?
For example for a sharp jpeg image ideally i would initially capture the image in raw format, export it to lightroom, apply my sharpening then resize then save as jpeg?
@zeiad1 - there are no hard & fast rules in regards to sharpening. I am finding more & more, it's an individual subjective choice on how people choose to sharpen. Generally speaking, I would resize an image and apple "output sharpening" last. (This assumes sharpening in Photoshop). If you are "capture sharpening" in Lightroom you would not resize the image until export. At that time you can "output sharpen" from LR. This is where some folks choose to skip & sharpen in Photoshop for control.
@lilflippyg - Liquify cannot be used directly in Lightroom, however, you can right-click a photo & choose to edit in Photoshop. This would create a PSD or TIFF copy of the image to be edited. After making your changes the file would automatically be imported back into Lightroom & stacked with the original image.
