Starting with a lot of information
Be sure you are shooting in RAW! You want to start off with the most info possible and then work your way down.
Here is a decent workflow
Shoot with your camera in RAW mode. If your camera does not have RAW, choose the FINE under the JPG settings.
Import into Lightroom or aperture – these programs will read your RAW files.
Edit your image in Photoshop – 16 bit mode, ProphotoRGB or Adobe RGB 1998
Save a copy of your image as a .PSD file – this will allow you to have layers so you can edit the image further later if you decide to.
Save another copy of your image for the web using FILE-SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES from Photoshop. Be sure it embeds the color profile SRGB and is around 80 quality.
