Having color problems when uploading

[Flesheater]

I think I'm doing something wrong... When I upload a photo taken with the 5d to tumblr or flickr the color changes (a bit desaturated) but when I upload to facebook it looks normal like it does on my computer...

I've attached a photo as an example.

thanks!

I just ran a test and checked it in a different browser. I used safari this time instead of chrome. It looks fine in safari... Not sure why or how that is possible.

Could this mean anyone with Chrome sees my photos in an altered saturation?

Your photos are in Adobe RGB. Most Web browsers only understand sRGB. As a result, they depict the colors incorrectly. Convert your photos to sRGB before uploading them.

(Editorial comment: Adobe RGB JPEGs are generally a waste of time. Very few scenes contain any colors that Adobe RGB can represent that sRGB can't. Almost no computer monitors can depict those colors, almost no mini-labs can print those colors, and few home printers can print them. So save yourself a lot of grief and shoot sRGB JPEGs. If you want better than sRGB JPEG, shoot Raw.)

I do shoot in raw. and then I edit in potosop cs5 and then save as .jpg...

This may be a noob question... but how do I make it sRGB instead of RGB? I opened PS and dont see a way to change it...

Actually I just found it under edit>color settings
However it says RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
