I do not go to jpg until it is ready for posting. Most of my posting images only go through Lightroom. I it's going for Critique, it will probably also go through CS4.

- Into Lightroom from card as RAW.
- Adjust in LR as a RAW. I am trying to learn more and more of LR to do as much here as possible and keep it non-destructive. LR does a lot more than we (at least I) give it credit for.
- If ready, Export with Sharpening to an 800 jpg for posting.
- If more PP is required, Edit In Photoshop CS4 as a Copy with LR Adjustements. (I just watched part of an on-line tutorial where he always made it a Smart Object. This may be very important for non-destructive editing???)
- Save as .PSD.
- Resize, Sharpen and save as jpg for posting.
