Workflow with an LX3 image

From camera to computer, what does one do first, and then... and, how to finish up? The archive image here has not been previously uploaded; I chose it because it's a relatively easy edit.

 

So, when to Resize, at the beginning or at the end of the work session? How about Sharpening?

Wait a minute... if my image has Noise, am I sharpening the noise?!?

 

And so it goes. Here's what I did with this b/w capture of the massive Calatrava Bridge cables: Resize with no sharpening > Mild noise reduction > Lighting tweaks > Narrow black border.

 

Feedback welcome, and we'd love to hear how others handle these issues.
