Using the Photoshop option "Save for Web" the output in jpg didn't match the colors in Photoshop. So I switched the color setting for the working space in PS from sRGB to MonitorRGB - and the output in PS is ok.
But I don't understand why - any explanations are welcome.
Settings sRGB: Color Original image + Save for web window

Settings MonitorRGB: Color Original image + Save for web window

Hi,
Here's something I did up sometime ago, it might help. On no account should you change your working space in Photoshop to your monitor profile.

How to make sure images look the same in Photoshop (CS2) & Windows Fax/Image Viewer.
This is a quick & dirty guide for making color/contrast consistent from Photoshop to Windows Fax/Image Viewer. This guide will not attempt to explain the theory behind the steps. A few points to note before we start:
a. Make sure Adobe Gamma is switched off by removing it from the Startup folder.
b. Make sure monitor is profiled using a 3rd party profiling device (eg EyeOne).
c. Windows displays images in the sRGB color space.
Follow these steps to make sure the image color stays consistent in Photoshop & Windows Fax/Image Viewer:
1. If image is processed from a RAW file, please make sure that image output profile is set to either Adobe1998 or sRGB. Most photographers choose Adobe1998 since it has a larger colorspace vs sRGB.
2. Adobe Photoshop uses Adobe RGB 1998 as default working space. So if the image has been processed Adobe1998 profile, it will look the same from RAW converter preview and Photoshop.
3. After doing all the image adjustments, save the file. Do not close the file.
4. Select 'Edit -> Convert to sRGB Profile' option with Adobe ACE and Perceptual (No Black Point Compensation)'.
5. Select 'View -> Monitor RGB'. This is how your image will look like in Windows Fax/Image Viewer.
6. Select 'Export as Web'.
7. Open the jpg image Windows Fax/Image Viewer, it should look 99% close to the Photoshop image in Step 5.
