I've noticed recently on a few pictures I've put up for critique etc that the colours seem to be off when viewed on different monitors. I don't have a calibrated expensive monitor unfortunately and all my editing is done in my laptop, my question is, when saving a tiff file as a jpeg to upload to Flickr, should I 'save for web' (I am aware this may seem a rather dim question to ask)?
Deckard kindly advised they need to be saved as sRGB for viewing online, however when doing my final edits in Photoshop the colour mode says sRGB.......

I'm aware its never going to be amazingly accurate without a decent calibrated screen but is there something painstakingly obvious I'm missing?

Thanks folks :-)
 
Throw another spanner in the works... different browsers IE, Firefox etc are often not (or not properly) colour managed so will display images differently as well.
SRGB is the best for web use.

The browsers that aren't colour managed assume sRGB. This is why sRGB is the best for web use.
