I end up keeping 4-5 versions of every photo we take.

1 is raw right out of the camera, freaking huge. That way I can always go back to the "source" material.

Then I do any color correction and retouching that needs to be done, and again save at full size. This is my corrected source.

Then I save two more versions for use on the web with watermarks, etc.

1) Save at 80-90% via save for web, these are for members area, tour, etc.

2) Save another at 40-50% via save for web, these are for thumb galleries. It'll cut the size in half, even if you dont reduce the image size. Saves a ton of bandwidth for TGP action.
