Workflow Question Noise reduction
Here is a basic question on workflow that I do not really know the answer to:
At what stage do you apply noise reduction? Should it be when you import file into photoshop, or before or after sharpening?
:dunno
Thanks for your ideas

Specifically, if you use deconvolution sharpening (like Adobe Smart Sharpen or similar), or if you use a "High Pass" filter sharpening approach, I think that you can achieve better results with NI and custom noise reduction profiles for that image after sharpening.
If you use Unsharp Mask sharpening alone (including HiRaLoAm), I agree with using noise reduction first.
