Different colour / exp when viwed via IE7.

I have a problem that i cant resolve, ive looked through the stickies but cant find a fix.
Monitor calibrated using Spyder 2,i have sRGB set in all applications. RAW images processed using LR to 16 bit TIFF, sharpened in CS3, images are then resized for the web using CS3 "save for the web" as JPG.
When I view the finished images in LR,CS3 or windows pic viewer the colours and exposure are to my eyes the same wether they are RAW,TIFF or JPG.
Problem is that when uploaded to Pbase and linked to POTN the images are not the same,colours look different, not as much contrast and genarally look washed out to the original.I also get the same if i attach an image to a POTN post.
Is it IE7 ? and is there a fix ?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need to convert to sRGB. You can do this upon export from LR, or you can do from it inside of CS3.

Reason being that all those Photoshop applications are colormanaged, whereas IE is not.

Thanks for the reply David, forgot to include in my post that i have sRGB set in all applications.( original post ammended )

Post and image here so we can take a look, and save it in this manner:

Open an image like you normally would in photoshop and do Edit>Convert to Profile, and select sRGB.
Then do a Save as, and select JPEG and a quality setting to get down to size enough. This should leave the exif intact as opposed to doing save for web.

Also in the save for Web dialog do you have convert to sRGB checked?

IE isn't color managed (that I know).
No way to get them to look the same.

Have a read in the link from my sig.
Use a color managed browser

Thanks for the input Jeff and Rene.
Its got to be IE7 not being colour managed.Just going to have to live with it until Microsoft pulls their finger out !

Or download the free FireFox 3.0 version which is color managed.

I've been lead to believe that IE7 is colour-managed for Mac, but not for PC. That from a reliable source, but I haven't verified it myself.

Yep, the true colours of our images won't come to life until all web browsers are colour-managed.

Sure they will, just use sRGB

Even if all browsers become colour-managed, and if all users activate the colour-management, there's still only a tiny percentage of people who have their monitors calibrated. Colour-management is great for showing off your work to like-minded folk here on the forum, but members of the public who are visiting your website will still see your photos however terribly their monitor displays them. Sad but true.

And I hope you're not looking forward to a completely colour-managed world wide web so that you can display Adobe RGB (or wider gamut) images. No dice, I'm afraid - most monitors don't even cover sRGB.

You can check it with the info here, thanks to Rene: https://photography-on-the.net …php?p=2941196&p​ostcount=1

Google is easier

Have a look on the right side here, about halfway down the page: Click.

Seems FF3 and Safari are the only option for PC.

Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick.

One thing you can do in Lightroom is use the Web utility to "Preview in Browser" an image or images you want to export.

Put the images in a quick collection, make sure you have only the collection open (don't do this from a whole shoot) and then go to the Web panel and click the preview button below your layout window. It's kinda like "soft proofing" for the Web.
