I'm shooting in RAW, working in RGB, saving internet files at a resolution of 100 and uploading them here, facebook, picasa, etc, and they look so washed out.  They look great printed, on my screen, on other screens, etc, until they are uploaded and they look crappy.  Any suggestions?

Why do my images look different on the web than they do in Photoshop or Lightroom? They come out flat, desaturated, or dull.

Most browsers don’t understand color manaqement. Your images need to be converted to sRGB before uploading to the web.

See the Color on the Web section of the Color Calibration and Management Reference thread for more details

lol. i ran into this earlier when i looked at an image i uploaded. There was a big color shift between what I had on my monitor and what was uploaded to the web.

i went to  Adobe Live Docs  and synced my photoshop to match the color profile of my monitor. That way I can proof what was going to be uploaded.
