I am struggeling to get good quality on the pictures I process for my clients for use on facebook.
Any good recipes to share? I was hoping to skip the resize step in Photoshop.

I also miss PNG-support for the output file. It is recommended to import PNG's to facebook for minimal loss of quality.
So PhaseOne... pleeease 😉

  I don't know if I have the best recipe or not. I just know what little I put out there is generally decent. I process my normal way, resize the photo to 750 pixels wide, and save as a jpeg with an sRGB profile with a file size 200-250k.
  Most of the ones I show there are via a link to my pbase site.
  
  Anything that has a lot of detail that needs to look its best is generally given a sharpening in PSE after a resize and before the save as a jpeg. I wish that CO had a second step of sharpening upon output.

  Yeah, I do a LOT of proofing via Facebook because that's where people are... and Fb just clobbers images.
  To the point that people are like "well, it looks OK..."
  So sometimes I post the same exact photo to SkyDrive to illustrate what Facebook is doing to the photo.
  
  I've tried a bunch of things and even their "High Quality" setting just isn't.
  
  Without thinking much about it, I use this but I'd love to make something better:
  85% quality
  100 dpi
  40% size (I guess I could fix the size to whatever Facebook is doing)
  sRGB obviously
  
  My files end up being 500 - 900kb which is overkill, but I was hoping that Fb would take advantage of it.
  According to your post though, it looks like I can reduce my sizes.
