I always thought that de-noising had a smoothing effect which required subsequent sharpening, but Noise Ninja (a recent purchase for me) seems to smooth and sharpen in one go (softens hands AND piney fresh!). AT least, it has the apparent effect of sharpening. I haven't compared NN and UM side be side on copies of the same image.

Martin Evening's book on pg 8 suggests that "fixing the image data as a pixel image" happens last. This must be the same for exporting. Thanks for keeping me straight. However, I've always been a little disappointed with Lightroom sharpening. Chris Orwig that wrote the Photoshop User article I referred to and does the lynda.com videos agrees that "Photosho Sharpening is best". Matt,

Thanks for keeping me straight.

I would have thought that someone in Adobe thought of that to make sharpening the last command after reducing pixel size of the image, otherwise quite good implementation of sharpening tool in LR 1.1 is useless if it needs to be redone after exporting image. After all the only way to get an image processed by Lightroom whether it is being resized or not is to export it to whatever format you want.
