Preston, I do agree with your reply; but I think that your articulation might be clearer if you had said: "Most people recommend resampling before sharpening" instead of "Most people recommend resizing before sharpening" since resizing and resampling are two distinct operations which are not necessarily connected. Resizing without resampling only changes the effective resolution but not the acutal resolution; whereas resampling changes both. It is the latter that impacts on the results of USM - not the former.

"My questions are *Does this document still hold the sharpening? *Should I have done resizing before sharpening?" ------------------------- If the pixel count isn't changing, then you aren't changing anything in the file. "Resolution" just tells a printing application the "print size" of the image. Most people recommend resizing before sharpening, since sharpening is dependant on output size and output method (inkjet, screen, offset print, etc.). Bruce Fraser has a good three-phase sharpening procedure he outlines at <http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/20357.html?cprose=4-44>.
