You cannot know if an image will require sharpening or not until you know
how the image will actually be used.

Neither of these operations is possible.  You cannot sharpen anything while
it is stored in a TIFF or JPEG file; you must open the file, read the image
data inside, and load it into an image-editing program such as Photoshop in
order to sharpen it.  While the image is in Photoshop, it _does not have_ a
format; it is not TIFF or JPEG or anything else.  When you store the image,
it is recorded in a file in TIFF or JPEG format.  But you cannot "sharpen an
image in TIFF" or "sharpen an image after conversion to JPEG"; neither of
these makes any real sense.
