PP color problems

When i am working with my raw files i edit them to how i want as in apperance wise.
I then save them as a tiff image.
Then i resize and add my border(s) so i can submit a smaller copy on the web.
However when i go to save for the web it completly kills my color.
I have a lot of rich color and then when it saves it it like reduces the brightness and contrast i dunno hard to describe ... until you see what i mean.

I need some help?
Any suggestions on what to fix or am i doing something wrong?
How do you guys go from editing a raw image to keeping it all intact for online viewing and still looking the same as your raw image.
(i'm using CS2)
Thanks.

Ok sorry guys i searched around some and i think i found out my problem.
I think i was just forgetting to convert to srgb before saving for web.
I tried it and it worked for one of my photos so i'm going to go throw and work on my other news ones to see if it works out the same.

Glad to help

Ok how about this ... a simple questions why i'm on the issue.

What should be my default color settings be when i use adobe?
Right now i got it set to adobe 1998.
Should it be sRGB or SRGB IE61996-2.1 or Apple RGB or e-sRGB?

I'm assumin it would be one of those, but if not any of those please let me know ...

Until you really understand colour spaces, I'd recommend sticking to sRGB. Adobe RGB is ok too, provided you convert to sRGB when needed (ie for web, email, and some printing). Mind you, I'd only use Adobe RGB if that's what your camera is set to.

Apple RGB is pretty much defunct nowadays.

Ps sRGB and sRGB IE61996 should be the same thing, I think.

Thanks.
I've been editing in sRGB so i think i will stick to that then.

There is a link in my sig, leading to a stiky

Yah that was one of the threads i read through it got a little confusing but i followed some of it.
Thanks for the input.
