Alright, so I've been thinking about this for a while, working around through a couple of color profiles and techniques, but I'm still getting headaches over this. I know there *might* not be a "suits all" technique or answer, so anything you can input could be of great help. Whether it be some tips that you've learned along the way, or whatever you feel answers the question.
Before I go on, let me just mention my main specs: PC (Win XP SP3), Photoshop CS5, and as for camera, the color profile is set to Adobe 1998 (Nikon D300s and Nikon D60). Also: I shoot mainly in RAW, and I know this doesn't help for the color profiles according to some articles I've read, but I still benefit much more from shooting RAW in other aspects.
My main problem is: okay, I'm willing to accept that my photos won't look exactly the same when I'm viewing them in a Windows application such as WinViewer than from the Internet, but atleast for the Internet, I'd like to be able to acheive some consistency. I upload my shots mainly on Flickr, Facebook, and another site (let's call it "Other"). Very often, the shots will look different on every three of them. The colors shift, some parts that have more contrast and thus darker become lighter... it's getting to be a real pain in the *ss. I've tried Working sRGB, Adobe 1998 (although that's more obviously for print), along with many others, although Internet Standard RGB (sRGB) with "Proof Colors" clicked to be able to "see what you get" suggests that it would suit for browsers, no? I've also tried embedding, tried converting rgb numbers... practically everything, but there still isn't a "suits all" technique I've come to find and I've come here to ask for help. Any kind of help.
I understand what color profiles are, how they act, but I can't figure out what's best so that ONE photo looks the same from website to website.
Thanks in advance
