Matching jpeg for web to match print color saturation and contrast

Can I make a recommendation for the future...don't try and control your image by changing your monitor brightness. That is only confusing the issue.

You need to work on the image to control the color and value, not by changing the monitor. Turn your monitor back to it's correct settings and then take your printed piece and use it as a reference to match the color and contrast in your image on screen. If you are consistent with your monitor, you can more easily control what you see on screen in comparison to what you see in print.

Basically, not going to happen in all (most?) cases; you can't control what other's see of your images on the web. No matter what color space you use, or if you yourself get a match. Outlined here:

sRGB urban legend & myths Part 2

In this 17 minute video, I'll discuss some more sRGB misinformation and cover:
When to use sRGB and what to expect on the web and mobile devices
How sRGB doesn't insure a visual match without color management, how to check
The downsides of an all sRGB workflow
sRGB's color gamut vs. "professional" output devices
The future of sRGB and wide gamut display technology
Photo print labs that demand sRGB for output

On a copy of the original RGB, convert to the printer profile, then convert back to sRGB, potentially using Absolute Colorimetric intent, or Relative Colorimetric intent with Black Point Compensation off, depending on white point result.

Otherwise you can make edits to a copy, reducing contrast etc.

All of this can be put into an action and batched.
