Thanks for all the suggestions on and off list.

Converting my 8bit grayscales to RGB before converting to JPEG seems  
to fix the problem. Tried a couple of test files and things look much  
better. Converting the grayscales directly to JPEG was making them  
much too dark.

I'm guessing that "Save for Web" does sRGB for internet display.

thanks guys!
