Jeff,
Here is an image of Dysart harbour which I will show using the various steps I go through in Nik Software. The raw image was taken 20-4-2016 using my Nikon D80 with 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens. Manual mode, 1/400 sec, f11, ISO 250, 105mm lens equivalent.
This is the image, straight from the camera.
And here it is after processing in Lightroom 6.5.1.
This next one is after noise reduction, using Dfine 2.
Now it has been sharpened using RAW Presharpener.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
