At this point it's moot since Ken said he resizes in TIFF and sharpens, but I think you are correct - conversion from TIFF to JPG reduces file size and apparently compresses, I would think to Maximum quality. Sharpening at that point was what I was suggesting, before saving as a more-compressed JPG.

I did not think that in fact they are practically separate and distinct operations even if the act of coverting presents itself to the user as if it were being done in stages. Thus, if I am correct about the conversion and compression processes being from the users point of view for all intents and purposes one in the same, how does one sharpen between the conversion stage and the compression stage? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Maris V.
