Help - color space

I am having the worst issues with my exporting and color space. I have gone through this with Adobe, printers, friends, photographers. I can't figure it out. Every setting I have closed in color settings in ps says srgb and yet when I save as or export it is not srgb color space. None of my programs will accept my images. Shootproof, printers, another online gallery program. One of my retouchers said that my images say "not srgb" when she imports to her gallery program but yet every single setting I know of is set to srgb. 

im a photographer. I outsource editing for the most part (thank god with this issue!!) but I do like to do creative things to each gallery. Every image I touch has a problem . My workflow is to import to Lightroom, do minor adjustments and export to ps, do creative adjustments such as apply overlays etc then save as and save the image to my hard drive. Somewhere in that process something is checked which is making the color space not srgb or Adobe rgb. I can't even tell what color space it is because the files info states it is srgb

Please post an exported image here, so we can examine it.

Use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar. If that doesn't work, attach it.

You say "the files info states it is srgb". Where are you looking? Please be detailed, and show a screen shot.

You say you've looked at settings - but that doesn't show you the document colour space. Where do you look?

Also, do you save as or export? These are two different things, and work differently. Check the results of both.

Both export and save as are doing it.

What does it say here:

 

This is the color profile embedded in the file, period. If it says "untagged", there is no embedded profile and you need to go back. The profile should always be embedded when you save the file.
