I am just wondering which way some of you do sharpening and noise reduction...should I sharpen first and then use NI, or the other way around? I am working primarily with portraits in case that makes any difference.
Thanks,

| sharpening is the last step, after every other process is complete. |

| you should use Neat Image first before any other adjustments. No need to post process all teh noise. Sharpen last. |

Yup...
Remove the noise before you make it worse. For instance if you bump up the contrast, you also bump up the contrast of the noise. NI first, sharpen last.

| This is good advice. Thanks to Fotomann's suggestion (posted previously), I've been using NI as early as I can in my PP. My final pictures have been coming out cleaner, most likely due to changing the steps around. |
