Watch your color pallete settings in Photoshop. I seem to remember that sRGB is the best representation of what most monitors will see, and also what will be closest to print colors.

As mentioned lossless formats is the best way to go if you are heading into photoshop.

 

Jpeg's aren't a bad option if you leave them set to best quality, but the biggest mistake some people make is you have to be sure to leave the smoothing set to "0" when you save out your image. That option really kills the quality of the image.
