Post-production Workflow 1

This is my current workflow:

a - Make duplicate and Post process the raw file

b - Emboss signature watermark (script)

c - Flatten image (script)

d - Resize to 800px horizontal, constrain proportions, 72 ppi, resample, bicubic (script)

e - Convert to sRGB (script)

f - Convert to 8-bit (script)

g - Apply Luko USM technique (script)

h - Run frame script if desired

i - Save to new file (script)

j - Close file (script)

I made all those steps marked with script into an action and run it after step a.

Resizing

When resizing, should I use File->Save for Web & Devices.. or Image->Image Size..?

If you use resize using Image->Image size.. the exif info is retained after resizing. Save as jpg using a quality setting of 7 and Baseline format option checked.

Using File->Save for Web.. will discard all exif info in the jpg file, reducing file size by about 50k.

You should also ensure your photo is converted to and assigned with sRGB v4 ICC before saving. Without the color profile your photo will look washed out in browzers.
