Duotones not saving properly in Photoshop...

When I create duotones in photoshop and then save them, the saved jpegs do not look the same as the photoshop screen... They appear to be different tonality. Here is an example...

Above is what I see in Photoshop.

Is what I see when I save as a jpeg.

HELP!

Make sure 'Proof Colours' is turned off.

View / Proof Colours ... or... CTRL-Y

It's off... This only seems to happen with my duotones. My color or b/w shots appear to be exactly the same when saved... I don't get it.

Have you tried converting the duotone back to RGB color prior to saving?

After doing the Duotone, are you converting it back to RGB?
(too slow - lagging behind as usual..)

In your PS history list, what's that last action? 'RGB...something'

Answer to both is yes!

Photoshop's Duotone format is proprietary, and the only file formats which support it are .PSD and .EPS. To make it a JPEG, as mentioned, you first have to convert it back to RGB.

As an extra note, I've also found that Grayscale JPEGs often don't display correctly, so I convert all entries back to RGB mode, even if it's a grayscale image.

Could it have anything to do with this error I get when opening shots converted in RSE?

Embedded profiles (especially one not matched to your monitor) are often the cause of color shifts. I try not to use them myself ....

But according to the warning I get the embedded profile and working space profile are the same. I've been using convert document to workspace.

I hate color management...

Have you tried to optimize your monitor? That can have an effect too. :)

Go to Edit > Colour settings... and make sure your Working Space is set to sRGB. If it's anything else (it might be default to Adobe RGB, can't remember) it won't look the same when you go back to explorer or the media viewer as they're all sRGB.

The monitor calibration has nothing to do with this, as the change is relative.

Oh, sorry, didn't open that. What's your current RGB colour management policy?

OK...I think I got it. After running Adobe Gamma and reloading the original sRGB profile and not making any changes to the settings (all default) the files now look the same when saved. I do not get the error message when loading the RSE conversions either. New questions... Are my color photos that I had been saving off too and I just can't see the differences due to my color blind issues? Will my (duotone) prints now be correct?

I hate color management... (Did I say that already?)
