I don't use the Canon software, but it sounds like two things are going on:

1) I imagine that when you tell DPP to open up a file as a jpeg that Viewr first creates and saves a jpeg to your folder, then opens PS to process the image. That way Viewer keeps the processed file in its catalog. This is pretty common behavior.

2) Assuming the the Viewer Utility acts as a catalog, it needs to be "told" about the file PS put out for the Web. I imagine there is an import function that you would run to "see" new files. This is guesswork, because I haven't used the program, but other cataloging programs, like Lightroom, require an explicit import for this kind of thing as we.

As far as the format you work with, if all you are doing is creating a temporary file to save for the Web, a jpeg probably won't hurt, although I would ensure it's of high quality so that PS will get the best results of any editing and saving. But if you need a file that will keep high quality through, say, editing and printing and then saving for further use then you would need to use a tiff for that.

Hope this helps!
