It was either a YouTube video or one of the books I bought, on Nik Software, that told me to do it that way round. I am not adversed to a further round of Dfine 2, later in the process, if required.
1. John, why employ define 2 before pro sharpener 3? I though sharpening in itself could produce a little noise so t'other way round would have been intuitive.
2. Do you use PS print mode for your final export? What resizing process do you use?
I use Lightroom to export my images, but only to file. I very seldom make a physical print. With regard to resizing, to resize for publishing here, I use ACDSee 19's batch resize function.
Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
