I agree that for web use Jpg may very well be a necessity and that sharpening just before converting to a given level of compression when converting to JPG may be the best way to go since in most case those downloading the web image will not be resizing the image for serious uses and/or then resaving that reworked image at a differetn level of compression as a new JPG file using the "Save As" function. For other than web work, some have suggested that saving an image for archival purposes as a LWZ compressed TIFF file is the best way to go for compression without artifacts. I, personally, use Genuine Fractals to produce a compressed working archival file in which I sharpen the image prior to encoding or leave it unsharpened until I open it up at the size that I need it to be.

JPG is not a good format, I know, but it is very useful and in fact necessary for the web. I would think it better to convert to JPG and then sharpen rather than sharpen in TIFF and then convert. I haven't tested but I think it would result in fewer artifacts. Maris ....snip...
