I have been shooting for more than three years, but I never do too much in post-processing. I tend to be strict and keep in mind that PP can only do little to save an otherwise-great photo.
I was going to enter the "Photo of the weekPhoto of the week" thing, and I was doing sharpening and noise reduction in Photoshop.
NR makes your photo blurry, while sharpening amplifies noise.
I wonder, does the order of these operations matter at all?
Should I apply noise reduction and then unsharp mask, or the other way round?
