I'm curious how you all handle color management when you post images on this site or on other online portfolio sites or Flickr, etc. etc. I shoot a lot of RAW files and use Adobe Camera Raw in the Bridge to edit, save jpeg versions, etc. So as long as I'm looking at things in the Bridge or Photoshop or Preview all is well. Even iPhoto for that matter. But if you look at the file previews in the Finder, they're completely washed out - ...

Flickr is eating my colors ...
And read the above before you reply saying, 'but ... but ...'
Here is the most salient point:
Edit > Convert to Profile
Profile: Working RGB -sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Engine: Adobe (ACE)
Intent: Perceptual
/\ This is for CS2.

Here are my Color Settings.
Some additional reading ... well, ok ... enough to read in the above 'stuff' ... pop some popcorn, grab a seat and watch this vid.

Les is correct - it's all about your profiling and how you convert/use them. sRGB for web / Adobe RGB for print or conversion to 4 colour process. Convert physically alters the colour data to best replicate the same result, assign profile leaves the data intact but adds a compensation curve that visually alters the appearance.

Color Management: Color Space Conversion
From the above, and I quote;
"Perceptual and relative colorimetric rendering are probably the most useful conversion types for digital photography. Each places a different priority on how they render colors within the gamut mismatch region. Relative colorimetric maintains a near exact relationship between in gamut colors, even if this clips out of gamut colors. In contrast, perceptual rendering tries to also preserve some relationship between out of gamut colors, even if this results in inaccuracies for in gamut colors."
More 'stuff' on Color Management found at the bottom of the page, links to two more articles. For example, "Color Management: Color Spaces (Part 2)".
I've found this site to be an excellent resource for all matter of topics.
Any popcorn left? :oD

technically, for photography your rendering intent should always be set to perceptual - the others are mainly for colour reproduction in commercial print and can cause banding in particular colour areas on continuous tone images.

slight roadblock .. i need a new copy of photoshop CS3 or lightroom. (New computer; 30day trial is up). Give me some time (looking for a good place to buy with an high school student discount) and then I'll get back to the color dealio...
...but thanks for the help so far! Though, I can't really do anything until I get photoshop again.

Some very nice photos of the wedding Noah. I beg to differ on the point that you didn't know what you were doing.
Your dad was somewhat conspicuously absent from the photos though, save one? I think.
Good luck on the PS front.

Oh ... right ... umm ... kind of missed that the first time around.
In any case, I'm not eligible for another 3 months if I go the adobe.com route. :-/

You could go with Photoshop Elements. It has everything that is relevant for the photographer at a fraction of its big brothers price.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

I think i can wait ... If i get really really really desperate, i might get elements. I still have 20 days in lighroom...1600 photos ... no problem.

...so ... where's this checkbox that I'm missing?
btw, I'm referring to these photos ... quick edits (that took me a long time); I need to make them more consistent; but after I figure out what looks best (and figure out the answer to the above question).
...and if you were curious, no, those are not all the photos. I'm still weeding through the 10-15gb of images. And yes I shot raw. And no, I didn't really know what I was doing.
