Well there are always different ways to do things. Manually I tend to
oversharpen. Bicubic sharper has been a god send for me. The smaller
your image the more USM it needs, bicubic sharper does it pretty well
and I don't have to fiddle with it. Unless there is a pressing reason
for doing it otherwise, I will always do it the easy way. Just lazy, I
guess.

If you use "save for web" your don't have to do a separate conversion,
it will save your 16 bit .psd as an 8 bit jpeg. I just do a "bicubic
sharper" downsize, and "save for web", then delete the downsized .psd
image without saving.

Yeah, I usually save for web now to create jpegs. I started doing this when I
realized it left the PDF file alone and still active in the window.
I generally use bicubic straight, unadorned, vanilla flavor, whatever. Is
sharper better?
Actually, come to think of it, most times now I resize and then sharpen
first. Then I save for web with no resizing/sharpening at the time. (I can undo the
changes to the pdf before saving it.) I usually do my own sharpening now,
using the high pass filter option that Boris explained to me. I guess I prefer
to know how much sharpening is going on. Not sure one has any control over that
in the automatic options.
Maybe I going through too many steps.
