Am I editing right?

[chris2683]

I recently discovered the benefits of shooting in raw first hand but I am unsure if I am editing my photos correctly.

I have Photoshop and lightroom. (I mostly use lightroom)

When I edit I edit the raw image and then export as a jpg in LR. When I export as a jpg is that the RGB that everyone talks about?

I recently edited some pictures I took and they looked great but when I got them back some were very cool. I have just recently calibrated my monitor and just got some printer profiles from a local costco. I am printing out three different images to see the difference in using this.

Are there any other quick tips anyone can give me on editing raw images?

Just find one you are comfortable with and go with it. I import to LR, do all my major adjustments then into CS3 for any minor adjustments.

Can't comment on outside printing, as I print everytning at home..
