Question Colors de-saturating

Hello guys, over the last month or so i have been going to shoots and coming home and everything is looking ok. When i edit them in CS3 they look awesome after i sharpen, colours etc

Then when i save the file as .jpg and then go and view it in the folder it has been saved to, everything still looks great. Then i go to upload the picture on a number of different uploaders for example, photobucket, imageshack etc and post the pictures all the colours are really de staturated by at least -20 even if i make the picture my desktop wallpaper it really looses alot of colour.

If anyone knows how to fix it would be great to hear from you.

- Casey

Make sure you are putting your final output of CS3 into the sRGB color space. By default it goes to Adobe_RGB. Web pages only deal with sRGB, images in other color spaces will appear desaturated.

It doesn't matter if you have a Mac or a PC...if your color spaces are messed up, your colors will be wrong. Verify that the output from PSCS3 is sRGB...and not ProPhoto or Adobe_RGB.
