Phil -  You are processing the photos twice.  After you've processed 
and converted them in SilkyPix, you shouldn't need to do it again in 
PhotoShop.  I just use photoshop for adjustment layers and spotting 
now.  Don't ever use automatic levels or contrast.  You can do a much 
better job yourself on the RAW files in SilkyPix or Lightroom.

Hope this helps.
