I have a problem, my screen is calibrated and everything is set to adobeRGB. So far so good. The problem starts when I put my pictures on my site. In firefox and Inter Explorer all the pictures look too red. Only Safari seems to display them well.
Anybody have a solution to this?

Jim is right - you need to convert your files to sRGB for web. That's not to say you should be working in sRGB throughout your workflow (if Adobe RGB suits you, stick with it), but sRGB for posting is a must!

Roger, from start to finish you should be working with one RGB source...
Constantly converting is where your finding issues. Also, make doubly sure that your monitor is properly calibrated, and calibrated through the RGB channels.

Camera = AdobeRGB
Photoshop = AdobeRGB
Lightroom = AdobeRGB
Screen (HP 2475w) calibrated with spyder2express , profile is loaded in the videocard. It says so everytime I boot up.
I export with Lightroom Web module. All Web module exports are done in sRGB.
Cant figure out whats wrong.

I think you guys need to do this test, Look at a sRGB picture in Safari vs Firefox/IE. I know safari color manages pictures and firefox doesn't not by default. Is that the problem and is there no circumventing this?

You are absolutely correct - Safari is colour managed and Firefox is not on its default settings. You can turn colour management on in Firefox, which is what you need to do. I can't remember the exact setting, but you need to enter "about:config" in the address bar and change one of the values to 1 rather than 0.

You're noticing this in particular because the HP is a wide gamut monitor - with a monitor that is closer to sRGB in its colours and gamut, the problem would still exist, but it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Have a read in the link from my sig...
On a non color managed browser you'll be seeing the difference between the images- and the display profile.

roger767,
It sounds like the files truly aren't being exported to sRGB which would explain why Safari sees it right and not the others. I personally suggest you keep trying to get it right in IE and Firefox as the mass majority on the internet will be using those two programs.

No, the effect described by the OP is exactly what will happen when viewing sRGB files on a wide gamut monitor. I have the same monitor and see the same issues when using a non-colour-managed browser. Trust me, there's nothing wrong with the colour setup on my system :)

That would only make sense if the "mass majority on the internet" are using exactly the same monitor, with the same settings, as the OP...
