I am using my F70 EXR to photograph images for a product database and using Photoshop Elements 6 to process the images.

Photos taken in P mode, M size, Auto ISO 400.

My workflow consists of the following:

1. Remove noise (not sure if this is really necessary)
2. Adjust levels
3. Re-size (from F70's M size to 800x600)
4. Crop to remove empty white space.
5. Save as quality 4 jpg

See photos below for an example.

Before (resized for web to 800x600 and save as quality 4 jpg - no other processing):

After (using workflow detailed above):

I am no expert on this and I am wondering if what I am doing is the best way to achieve good results? What do others think of this workflow? Is there a better way to process these photos to give better results? How does this workflow compare to yours?

Note: Photos are stored on photo bucket - not sure whether they do additional processing at their end?
