My understanding is that all adjustments to the image should be made
prior to applying the Roark curves.  I make all my adjustments, then
save the image, then apply sharpening and the Roark curve and print it.
When done, I always put the image away without saving the sharpening or
Roark curve.  Seems to work for me.

Thanks,
