DPR Studio comparison of FF revised

Of course you're right, USM should have been the last step. Guess I was too busy thinking about "the right way" to do the downsizing. I decided to do it in one step using bicubic-sharper, even though I've noticed in other occasions, that downsizing in several steps preserves more detail. Especially when downsizing to a rather small size for web use. But with these pics I wasn't so sure, whether this method also preserves more noise...
