Should I PP then resize?

I was wondering if it was better to do all the PP then resize the image or if it mattered at all? Also for prints, If I were to take them to Costco or such, do I give them the full res image or do I downsize to the appropiate sizes such as 8x6 etc. before I give them the disk?

PP then resize? Sounds liek a personal problem

I always process, save, THEN resize, sharpen. This way the full image has the same edit as the small version. this is good if the client wants that small 600x400 image they saw on you page. You don't have to guess what editing you did, and it will save you time.

Haha.

Do you sharpen again after you resize?

Always PP, then resize, then sharpen. This is so you can crop later to different aspect ratios and don't have to do the PP again. Also the amount of sharpening needed depends on the size, so always sharpen last.

I usually sharpen after I resize. But it all depends on the photo.

Change to always, not sometimes. Reasons above.

There is no set rule, just do this according to your liking

I don't have links, just use google to find information on sharpening. It's output size dependant. Try the same amount of sharpening on a 400x266 pixel image as a 4000x2666 pixel image and you'll see what I mean.
