It will vary from image to image Janice, but assuming you've optimally sharpened, it should look OK at full size. Like all things though, the larger you go the more the imperfections show up so pics will often look sharper when viewed or printed at a smaller size.

When I'm sharpening images for printing I tend to use the channel method and sharpen on the Lightness channel, which avoids sharpening colour noise and gives me a good result. It's debatable if there's any value in that though for web viewing.

Dunno if that helps at all?
