They look much brighter in-game than they do when your editing them, so last thing I do is adjust the levels in photoshop to darken them down.

If your saving them out as jpg's keep the quality at 75% or above, not much noticeable difference if you save them higher than 75 cept they get quite a bit fatter in filesize.
Philip II of Macedon sent a message to Sparta:
"If I win this war, you will be slaves forever."
The Spartan ephors sent back a one word reply: "If".
