Artists are often encouraged to push the boundaries. That's my philosophy when it comes to processing individual images. Simply said, I never know if I've gone far enough until I go too far and then come back just a bit. I apply this strategy with every step of processing from sharpening to color balance to contrast and clarity. I never know beforehand when a processing step is going to require pushing to the extremes or restraint to the extremes.
