Where to begin in post processing photos.

I guess I'll split the difference. I do all my editing - except sharpening - at full size. When I am happy with the exposure and color, I resize to 1024, then sharpen the smaller image.

I guess we all have our styles :)

For a first timer, this might be the best option until he can get his feel for editing and decide whats best for his photo: http://www.jid.me.uk/workflow/

The editing done to the photo is done optimally with the existing pixel layout

Pretty much spot on.

That's why I love RAW, ACW lets you make any changes to expsoure, white balance, shadows and contrast. In fact you can level it, crop it too before you open it in PS to clean the dust and sharpen. The experts I have asked prefer to just fix exposure and white balance and any color issues in ACW then do the rest in PS.

Is jetphotos.net down? Because I tried to upload my photo and it Did'nt work.

I concur with moose. At work and for my personal editing I do all my levels and color adjustments at full size, but sharpening must be done at the final size. As you shrink a photo it gets progressively less sharp.

You got Photoshop that quick? What version? You should have posted the photo for C&C first! :)

I dont have photoshop, I use a combination of Canon Digital Photo Professional and Windows.

ATC, I missed what you are shooting with, but I assume it's a Canon. I'm surprised you don't have a copy of PhotoShop Elements - I've gotten copies with both Canon DSLRs I bought. It has just about everything you need to edit photos. I used it for well over a year, and probably 100 or more of my jp.net photos, before moving to the full version of PS.
