So I like designing graphics on Adobe Illustrator and I post photos on the web a lot including NS, but everything I post seems to come out desaturated, I'd say at least 30-40%. It sucks because I like vibrant colours and when I design something that looks really sick then post it on NS only to find that all the colours are fucked up now.

I posted this question before on the Photography cult and was told to change the colour profile to sRGB, but it still seems to do this. Now when I go to EDIT --> Convert to Profile... to change the colour profile, there are like 10 different sRGB's not to mention like 5 others without the little "s" in front of the RGB, it just says RBG. Some have crazy long numbers behind it, and I really don't know which one I should change it to.

It never did this before, I'd post pictures on facebook from iphoto, straight from my P/S camera and it looked fine. I'm really confused and frustrated, and I have no clue how to fix this.

Help me NS?

^ ya it sounds pretty close
I'll try testing if it's just my browser or the photo on a friends computer
I don't quite think its my browser though, all photo's on NS and other websites look great except mine, its really strange

it's only a browser problem if you're using firefox 3. internet explorer 7 and safari are color managed by default.

if you're using firefox, then install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6891
