 Welcome to the forum Andrew, I wouldn't get too hung up on formats, I save in camera D200 and D3100 as NEF (RAW) All my images are viewable in Lightroom, I do basic cropping, and adjustments in Lr and I take a screen shot for anything I want to upload to a forum in JPEG.

If I want to give an image special treatment I open it in Photoshop process it and save as 16bit TIFF full resolution and with layers. Storage is so cheap it isn't worth compromising quality for space.

What is your main use for the images? Printing, or viewing on your own computer or TV screen or uploading to the internet in some way...

There are some very good videos on the Adobe website explaining many of these technical aspects of photography related to PhotoShop, also there are some good ones on Lightroom which explain this sort of stuff very well.
