    For viewing my photos on the computer screen or for printing them I
    would generally choose an over exposed image (light and bright), add
    contrast in Photoshop CS3 and then save in PSD format. The photos
    looked really nice. 

    Recently I set up a web site. With CS3 I open the photo, crop and
    determine image size and then save the photo for web and devices. The
    resulting photos on my site were awful - totally bleached out. I had
    to re-work every photo. 

    I think that this happens because the original RAW file is a minimum
    of 4.5 MB and the final photo on the web site is max 40K. To reduce
    the file so much a lot of data must go and you lose detail, color and
    contrast. 

    What little I know about working with photos I learned on Adobe's
    tutorial site, www.lynda.com. Usual disclaimer.
