I took a few photos over the weekend, one of which was of my daughter playing with her toy camera. I cropped it in Lightroom and then did an export to jpeg to upload to the internet. When I opened the image in Preview it was fine, when opened in Firefox, however, it was really washed out. I thought it was going to be something in Lightroom so I tried opening it in Photoshop and changing colour profiles (tried every one in the list), did a Save for Web as each of them and they were all washed out.
At this point I thought I would see if it was an Adobe issue, so opened the image in Aperture and did an export, have the same issue.
The only way I can get close to the what I see in Aperture and Lightroom is to set the saturation up +50 before exporting. Here is an example of a straight export:
and this is more what I see in Aperture/Lightroom/Photoshop:
The only thing I can think of is on my Nikon D40 I have in the custom image Color Mode it is set to IIIa (sRGB), rather than Ia (sRGB) which I have read gives less dynamic colours.
Anyone got any suggestions? I assume shooting in RAW would overcome this (at the expense of significantly larger files)
