Hopefully one of you can tell me some simple setting I have wrong in CS3. I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS3. I thought I had calibrated my monitor correctly with a Huey.

When I download my photos in raw the exposure appears fine. When I finish the post processing on my photos the exposure appears fine. Whether I open my photos in CS3 or Explorer the exposure appears balanced.

But my latest entry in a current challenge (and first one since upgrading to CS3) makes it obvious that what I am seeing on my monitor is 1 to 2 exposure levels brighter than what is being seen by everyone else once it gets here on this site. Also, I sent some prints to the local printer and they came back looking similarly darker than what I see on screen.

Anyone have any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

Sounds like your photo was using AdobeRGB and not sRGB.

Check out the tutorial - Using Photoshop to Prepare Photos for DPC Challenges. It covers sRGB conversion.
