Sequencing of adding resolution with FM SI pro

At what juncture of editing a digital file should I use SI pro? If I am going to edit a file, do I use it upfront before I begin color adjustments and image sizing? Or SI Pro it just before sharpening?

Thanks

Hi Joe,

I found I got the best results if the interpolation was my absolute first step in the process. I noticed that when I applied SI after doing color correction and unsharp masking, I got strange artifacts as a result. It seems to magnify even the smallest specks, blobs and glitches, which makes sense, since that's what its supposed to do.

I sharpen before SI. Otherwise, the resulting image is hard to make look sharp.

In general, you should sharpen, then SI, then sharpen again. This doesn't work on some images, but it's the first thing I try.
