Resize image

I am a GIMP beginner....
1.When I crop a picture, what is the best way to resize? I have been using Image/scale image, then setting width and height at 4896 & 3264. Is that best? Or how is best to help retain quality. 2. I have been using Filters/enhance/unsharp mask...is this best, rather than Sharpen? And do I leave the Radius/amount/threshold settings at what pops up? Thank you for any help or advice..
.am having fun using GIMP...many thanks. Cindy

It depends on how you want to use the image. For example, 4896 x 3264 pixels would be a large image for use on a Web page.

2. I have been using Filters/enhance/unsharp mask...is this best, rather than Sharpen? And do I leave the Radius/amount/threshold settings at what pops up?

Unsharp mask has ugly defaults for a lot of images, and you probably want to reduce the amount. I prefer Sharpen for a lot of cases, but it all depends on how you will use the image.
