What's the best stage to sharpen my RAW?

[shlomki]

Hey everyone,

I import and edit my photos in LR. Sometimes, when retouching is needed, I go into Photoshop, do some work, and then save the file back to LR.

My questing is - when should I do the sharpening, in such case?
Should I apply sharpening before I go into Photoshop, or before I export the final result in LR?

My output is usually for web & social media, not printing.
I usually output at 2048px (as per Facebook's guidelines) and apply "Output sharpening" for "Screen" on a "Standard" amount in the LR export window.

Thanks!

Sharpening only happens for output, whether it be print or web. So definitely never apply it before sending to PS.
