		Its awesome neat what you guys did with this. But I'm missing how you decided what to do - do you just play around with it or are there other indications ? How do you know to do a 
 *********
 high pass
 auto color
 despeckle
 hue sat
 curves. 
 *********
 and which other cases might it be relevant in ?
 
 And while doing the curves - how do you know to get that curve shape in ? (I guess I mean is there a curves tutorial to help me out ?)
 
 I guess I'm a little behind the curves here .. |

		Sharpening should be done as close to the beginning of the workflow as possible as other processed can introduce noise which sharpening enhances.
 
 A general order could be:
 
 Noise reduction
 sharpen
 curves
 shadow/highlight
 other pp
 resize
 sharpen
 
 I try curves on pretty much all shots to see if there's a difference.  Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't.  Shadow/highlight is used on images where there is a wide range between the highlights and the shadows.

		Those were my questions too. I am in awe at what some people can do in post processing. There sure are some great examples here.
