Ok, are you game to try modifying your workflow a bit?

Try this:

(1) Camera is set to RAW and AdobeRGB (same as before)
(2) Instead of converting from RAW to 8-bit JPEG in CS, merely OPEN the image in Photoshop. It'll open as a 16-bit image.
(3) Do all of your editing and THEN Save as a TIFF (though, really, I'd suggest keeping it as an Adobe .PSD file).
(4) Crop and resize for the web
(5) Convert to 8-bits
(6) Then SAVE to JPEG using the SAVE FOR WEB function

The one thing I see you doing, before, is going from RAW -> JPEG and then to TIFF. Try bypassing the JPEG until you have to use it (like for the web) and see what happens for ya.

Keep us informed as to how it's going, ok Freddy?
