Losing quality when converting to JPG (a lot of quality)

Not sure if it's been stated, but you can upload .TIFs to Flickr with the desktop uploader.

I just figured something else out with the help of my roommate who is a web programmer. When the website has a black background the image quality is sacraficed, when the website has a white background the image is at full quality, reguardless of a sRGB conversion.

Can anyone see this? I have tested it on several monitors and it only seems to be happening on my main editing monitor sadly.

I have been researching this night and day for months now. I have contacted many website support specialists (many of who can not even view a difference between the photos) with out any luck of fixing this problem. I think it takes a photographers eye to see the difference. I have a website through wordpress, David McCarthy Media. I typically resize my photos to max 600 w/h and save as high quality jpeg. When I view them on my website the contrast, sharpness, and vibrancy is lost. I have toggled between seeing the same photo off the web, in a blank web browser window, and using windows picture viewer. The website to having it just in a browser is a drastic difference, then the browser to viewing it on my pc is a night an day difference. I am just looking to have my photos viewed at their highest quality. The website takes my photos and makes them look like point and shoot snap shots, and its starting to make my blood boil because I can not get to the root of this problem.I have tried saving the photo in every possible way and uploading them. Its always the same thing. My roommate is a web programmer and her can not understand it himself. His explanation is that the browsers are making the photos lighter. Can anyone help?David

Have you tried setting uploading (good) images to your server and then creating a simple html page with direct links to them?This should at least eliminate any question of the images being affected by image handling scripts.If wordpress.com doesn't allow that, I'd be happy to try it on my server. Just send me an image. (watermark it if you like).

You're about 4 months late with your help.

Better late than never Besides, I just joined today. And, I must admit, at a glance I misread the posting date, thinking it was dd/mm/yyyy.
