There is something which has been bugging me for a long time now - although I'm embarassed that it might make me appear a complete noob.
I post process my RAW files and film scans in LR and CS3. In LR I am working in ProPhotoRGB - if I further process in CS3 I work in AdobeRGB.
When I export to jpg in LR or save as jpg in CS3 then the finished image is always oversaturated. For example, a nice duck-egg blue sky become more cyan than blue. Reds also seem to be boosted.
I've come to the conclusion that this is the result of converting from tiff to jpeg, or RAW to jpeg.
As I understand it, jpeg does not have the same colour space as a tiff (am I correct)? Or am I missing a trick? I would dearly like my RAW processed or TIFF files that are converted to jpg to have the same saturation and colouration as what I see on my screen in LR or CS3.
About the only way I have been able to preserve the same colouration in jpeg is to untick the colour profile box when I save in CS3 so that in effect there is no colour profile information (which can't be true, can it?).
Thanks for any obvious pointers.
