I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I opened up my RAW file in Photoshop and saved it as a JPG to post on the web. When the 'save for web' window opens the images colors are not nearly as vibrant.
I saved it anyway and opened the JPG and it looks the same as the RAW in Photoshop, but when I uploaded it to the web, the colors look dulled again.

Took a screenshot of the three next to eachother (RAW, JPG in PS, and JPG on web) and the screenshot shows the color differences between the three images.
I know that the web can show these colors since it shows in the screenshot, but why is it not showing in the original file?

Hit edit on your first post, check the delete box, or don't worry about it. I guess you read to do the "convert mode to sRgb" thing?
