When you look under View in CS3 and go to Proof Setup, there are many options to choose. We currently have ours set to "Working CMYK", but there is also a "Moniter RGB" and a "Windows RGB" (we have a PC, not a Mac) along with many other choices. Just curious to see if it makes a difference in what people see on the site when we upload our shots...Do you see what we see on our moniter? Which setting do most people use? I'll just add that I'm not refering to moniter calebration (sp?) which I know can make a huge difference in what people see. Just wondering about this particular setting.

Thanks!

When you choose a proof setup, you're choosing a colour profile that Photoshop will attempt to replicate when you turn proofing on. So, if you're working in Adobe RGB and have the image proofed to sRGB, it'll show you what that image would look like were you to convert the colour profile to sRGB.

I'd suggest you switch off of Working CYMK (unless you use it for something) and change it to sRGB or the colour profile of the place that does your prints (if they offer one).
