I initially intended to show a few examples of what happens when an image is viewed in the wrong color space, but when writing it up as a simple blog post, I kept including more background and tangential information, and we now have a seven-page article:

Thank you for a most informative and useful article — my friends and I appreciate it.
Interesting and informative, but reading a 7-page article on screen is not what I want to do!
Would it be possible to present it as a PDF (and what colour-management problems does that route bring in)?
Great read!
As Michael says, please publish in PDF. Would just love to have it on paper to ease the process of getting my workflow smooth. Right know my colormanagement sucks!
Anyone knows why this is happening:
I load raw photo into lightroom, correct color, WB, exp, contrast and all that in LR.
Open the photo from LR as a psd in PS, colorspace ProPhoto in PS (I have also tried other workspace color profiles…)
The photo shows up in both LR and PS as FLAT! COLORLESS! BRIGHTER!
Also it seems when I export for the web from LR, in 72 dpi, colorspace sRGB, the colors, contrast and vivity of the photo are decreased… I don’t know what I am doinf wrong. Will read your article again, to see if I missed anything…
Thanks!
