When I select all the darks, lights and offsets, check all and hit register etc, I walk away and go have a coffee. When I return I find a very white picture. All I do then is put the darkness bars to either end (Usually), turn both highlight bars right down and bring the mid tones to about half way, with the bottom one slightly more advanced than the top one. Have a bit of a fiddle about there and set your saturation to 12 to 21 percent.
IMHO, if the thing looks too colorful, it starts to look to cartoony, more like a painting than a photo. I don't like to be too aggressive with color, preferring subtle and more realistic.
When you are happy with it and save the file, yes it does save as a tiff. Thats fine, keep a copy like that. I get a couple of weeks worth of stuff like that then ship it all to a box of disks for archiving.
Once you open the tiff file with PS or Corel etc, you can play with it more and save it as anything you like. JPG, BMP, GIF etc.
Any of this make sense?
