Help!

Okay here's the thing, whenever I am done editing a pictures in PHotoshop, I go to "save for web". In the "save for web" window, the colors of that image is different from the colors on teh workspace. So when i save the image, the colors look totally off from what I wanted. The image tends to be darker and saturated. This causes me to usually curve and brighten the picture in the workspace before i go to "save for web", but this leaves me unsatisfy because it's not the same thing as the final on the Photoshop workspace.
("save as" does the same thing)

Does anyone know what's wrong with my color settings? Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to help me fix this? I'm so tired of having to save a final picture, when it is not even what i intended it to look like.

Sure hope that made sense! Help if you know what i'm talking about!!! THANKS A BUNCHES.

Go to Edit> Color Settings. Under the "working spaces" dialog box, change the working RGB from whatever it is (most likely Adobe RGB 1998) to sRGB-IEC61966-2.1.

Farther down the dialog box, you'll see checkbox option for "Ask when opening", and "ask when pasting" under a section titled "profile mismatches". Check both of these as well.

sRGB is the color space for use with the web. When you "save for web", Photoshop automatically converts your file to that color space. Selecting it as your working space assures that the conversion is made while you're still in Photoshop, rather than after you save.

With the checkboxes marked, Photoshop will give you the option to convert a file to sRGB when you open it, if needed.

This should solve most of your problems.
