photos are dull when uploaded

Very strange problem with just one set of photos. I have tired uploading these to our website, spotify ad various other places, and once online they appear dull and grey compared to on my computer/in photoshop.

 

I have tried changing the size (reducing way down.) I have tried changing the jpeg format (baseline etc) ad nothing seems to work.

 

What's going on here, how do I fix it? (I took a screen shots of them other wise they'd both just be grey, I hope you can see the difference!)

This is as Per says. This is how ProPhoto looks without color management. Always convert to sRGB for web or any other purpose where you don't know how the file will be treated.

 

Your color settings don't matter. This is determined by the profile embedded in the file.

 

ProPhoto should never leave your computer.

    This looks like an image in the ProPhoto color space exported without converting to sRGB and embedding the profile.

    Always check these two when exporting. Embed profile is unfortunately unchecked by default.

      This is how I'm saving, and these are the color space settings.

        Please set the Status Bar to »Document Profile« and post more meaningful screenshots. 

         

        What is the document’s Color Space? 

        What are the Edit > Color Settings?
