PS CS2
col space adobe RGB(1998)
on a PC with XP

the images look great in PS on a calibrated monitor. But when they are
uploaded and viewed in a browser (e.g. IE which isnt a col managed
program) they look darker and duller.

what steps can I take to compensate and have them appear on the web as
they look in PS

thanks

Common problem.

Convert them to sRGB before posting to the Web.

Just convert to sRGB ?
Or do I still have to do something (levels, curves or whatever) to
prevent the dullness and darkening ?

That's it. You have to use 'Convert to Profile' though. That way the
image doesn't change at all. Apparently you are using 'Assign Profile',
but that's the wrong choice.

Well I did that, and unfortunately when I look at the jpegs on the
website with IE they still look darker & duller than they look in
photoshop.

Because I had many images, I used the Image Processor (in Scripts) to
batch convert them to jpegs, and there is a check box to convert to
sRGB and also at the bottom to embed the profile.

Usually there is always a slight (!) difference in colors between
applications supporting color mangement (as PS) and those not supporting
cm (like IE).
When the difference is too big there might be a problem with your
monitor calibration or monitor profile.
