Uploading to Flickr makes my images colours off

[wingo]

Hey guys,

I do my PP on Photoshop CS4 and everything looks the way I want but when uploading to Flickr the image becomes dull looking, what I want to know is what colour profile should I be setting on Photoshop to ensure the colours looks exactly the same?

Many Thanks.

You need to change the colour space in CS4 to sRGB, after that all should be well

Thanks mate, what if I were to get some prints done from a photo company, would I then need to change the colour profile again or would the prints come out about the same as it would look on Flickr?

You would need to find out what colour space the company use.. some internet ones use SRGB.. ask them.
Also some browsers dont manage colour spaces either.
