I used to work that way.
I always thought that in case of the RAW I was looking to a picture
converted to Jpeg by Picase. There was a clear difference in the two
pictures, but I do not remember which one was best.
Nowedays I shoot in raw, save the out of camera raw on a external disk,
work further in Picase in organizing and preparing pictures for WEB and
E-mail. When a picture has to be really good or for printing I open the
original raw in Photoshop elements and do the job there, This gives me
much more and better control than in Picasa.

(yet) and so use Picasa to import photos from my SD card.
Lately, I've really noticed that in Picasa the RAW thumbnails looks
substantially better than the corresponding JPEG (I always shoot
RAW+JPEG).
Example here: http://www.pixelsmithy.com/img/rawVSjpeg.png
I always thought although the RAW contains more information and could
look better after post-processing, it would normally look a bit worse
than the JPEG.
I was wondering if I could poll you on what your settings are for
in-camera JPEG processing (and which menu settings you have tweaked).
I guess in my case, I definitely would like them to look at least as
good as the RAW thumbnail looks!
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
