I would convert and sharpen before compressing. It may or may not help -
I'm not an expert - but it would deal with any artifacts that might possibly
be introduced in the conversion process itself. I would not compress,
re-open and recompress absent drastic sharpening artifacts in the compressed
JPG.

Theoretically maybe; but out of curiosity, how does one do this in actuality
when one would have to first decompress the JPG file before one could carry
out the sharpening operations. Afterwhich, one would then recompress the
file again in its altered state which would be what typically causes the
artifacts and deterioration in JPG files to begin with?

Probably the artifacts created in the compression process. It would
probably be better to convert to JPG first and then sharpen.

Speaking of sharpening - I think I understand this in a sort of sloppy
"intuitive" way, but could someone offer a technical explanation of
why sharpening has so much more visible effect on jpegs as opposed to
TIFFs?
