Need help with fixing pictures for Exposure Manager

[Z_Ghost]

I setup Exposure Manager because I keep getting people wanting prints.
My setup.
Canon 20D, shooting raw.
Using DPP for converting to 16 bit tiff file.
Not resizing the pic but it's set for 350 DPI

Take this file and crop it in Photoshop CS3.
Now my first pic I sent when I cropped it I set it to 10x8 and 300 dpi.
This picture I got back looked really bad, it's got that jpg look to it, like when you over sharpen a resized jpg file.

Now I was told the next time I crop to leave the dpi blank and I will do that.
Is their anything else I should do.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

My husband uses Exposure Manager so I asked him how he did it. Here's his answer...

CS3 Process workflow for Exposure Manager. This may not be the best or most efficient workflow but it works ok for me.

Convert
Batch convert raw to tiff after adjusting exposure, white balance, etc., and cropping if needed.

Process
1. If further cropping is needed then use the Rectangular Marquee tool with Feather: 0px, Style: Fixed Ratio and Width and Height set to 3x2, and select Image, Crop.
2. Process the tiffs as needed for sharpness, color, contrast, etc., and save.

Batch Convert to Jpeg using Bridge, Tools, Photoshop, Image Processor:

1.For presentation on Exposure Manager set Image Processor as follows...
Check "Save as JPEG"
Quality: 5
Check "Resize to Fit"
W: 500px
H: 500px
2.For Uploading to fulfill an order set Image Processor as follows...
Check "Save as JPEG"
Quality: 12
Uncheck "Resize to Fit"

Note: If the file size of any jpeg is 5Mb or more then reprocess at quality 11 to bring the file size down below 5Mb.

More on cropping:
If you have several different aspect ratios available for a photo purchase, such as 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc., then when an order comes in, go back to the tiff and use the Rectangular Marquee tool set at the appropriate aspect ratio to crop the photo.

Hope this helps...
