hi guys!
newbie to RAW processing, and i am in a world of HURT!
my lcd monitor on del inspiron e1405 is calibrated using the adobe gamma, and i just eyeballed no hardware calibration.
i processed some RAW shots i took, so i adjusted for brightness and color temp. here is one pix i processed, resized it but color and brightness i didn't change.

when i go into proof colors, i selected the ICC profile of the printer the lab was using, and selected proof colors and what was happening is the the color turns dull, like loss of contrast. i can't take a screen shot and the colors look funky, so i just simulated it only in photoshop.

so will this mean that when i have pictures printed by a lab it will turn out like the second picture? but when i adjust the image to brightness level similar to the 'unproofed' image and turn off proof colors everything looks very bright and washed out. so does this mean that when i intend to have the pictures printed, the adjustments i make in CS2 will not make the pictures viewable on a monitor?
your input guys! thanks!
