Ok, please ignore the arrow (different thread). How many of you can see a difference? And which profile should I be using for your average web viewer?

sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Adobe RGB (1988)

:agree:
 
Yep SRB are more saturated, I guess Adobe is more natural.
 
sRGB unless the browser is colour managed AdobeRGB won't be shown correctly.

Adobe isn't less saturated, in fact it offers more saturation than sRGB (for some hues and on a device that can display it) which is why for the same RGB values it appears to be less saturated when no colour management is translating the values. Until MS add some colour management to IE the web is going to stay sRGB as that's what 90% of people are using :(
 
Many thanks, that's what I am seeing here. Must remember to save all images sRGB from now on. I've noticed reds/oranges/yellow is where you see the most difference. What was once a vibrant sunset/sunrise in CS3 suddenly looks flat when posted on Flickr etc.

Ally - not a custom profile as far as I am aware. It's the standard sRGB profile from photoshop CS3.

Im assuming you have your camera set at sRGB too.. then put photoshop to preserve profiles and you're away.
 
I can change the camera's colourspace? Goes off to RTFM ;)

EDIT: Oh... no need... first screen , and it's on sRGB

What camera have you got................before I reiterate what I said!!! :D


Damn your quick editing!!
 
On my monitor there are more saturated red/orange tones in the srgb, but also the lower forest area is noticeably darker with less detail. The Adobe clearly shows some sort of road left to right (or even right to left if you're that way inclined). It's almost invisible on the srgb.
 
I stick to sRGB - everyone is set up to see it as I see it, and the firm I use for printing uses it too.

Nice shot BTW :)
