I've read about 'creative sharpening', a step in between raw sharpening and output sharpening, but it strikes me that this goes against the principles behind sharpening after you resize.

If you wanted one area of the image to pop more and you were going to creatively sharpen it, something commonly done with model's eyes, wouldn't it be best to do this after the resize?

So wouldn't creative sharpening before resize be a mistake? Or is it just usually not realistic to do this for each resize/format you may need the image for?
