I know you can't use unsharp mask or any customizable methods of sharpening, but I can't work out if sharpening twice is allowed? You can only resize once but is there any rule against sharpening both before and after resizing?

Nope. You can sharpen using a non-adjustable sharpening tool as many times as you like. And there are merits to sharpening before and after resizing. Depends on the image.

From my understanding you can sharpen however many times you want as long as it's not customisable.

eta: and Bear types way quicker than I do!

I'm concerned that you've not read the rules.

With that being said - you use "desaturate".. No customizable desaturation tools are allowed.

shoot in mono or straight desaturate with no customisations

eta: man! everybody's quicker than me today!

I know the rules but I've never done the desaturate ...just asking.

:)

I was sure you must have read them. Clarification is always good though.

You can also just change the mode from RGB to Grayscale.

To be safe, in Minimal I have always just resized and saved. I have Elements 7 and CS5 plus Faststone Image Viewer. What and/or where would the most basic sharpening tool - one that's not customizable - be?
Thanks

In Photoshop (and probably Elements) it should be in the menu Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.

For Minimal editing I often use IrfanView where it's under the menu Image > Sharpen.

Actually in Elements it Enhance > Auto Sharpen (as many times as you like)

Thanks, Paul.
Found that, Janine. Decided against it :) Thanks though.
