> Calibrate your monitor.
>> Stupid question... why?


If you don't calibrate your monitor, then you have no idea whether you see 
the same thing that we see when we're looking at your image. If a JPEG file 
specifies a certain shade of gray, and your monitor is not properly 
calibrated, it will show a different shade of gray. You said that you 
weren't happy with the midtones and were going to mess with them. That's 
pointless if you aren't looking at the same thing that we are.

You can get a rough idea here:

and a less-rough idea here:
