Exporting For Web Color Space - sRGB
I recently discovered I had been exporting images from Adobe Lightroom in the wrong color space which lends to a point. Regardless of which color space you use (calibrated monitor, Adobe RGB, Pro Photo RGB, etc), photos should be exported to the sRGB space, chosen from the export options window, in order to retain color saturation and contrast closest to the original. The same image will never look exactly as it appears on your own monitor or print due to the huge variation in monitors, browsers and color calibration hardware and software employed. Therefore, your best hope for the web is to stick with sRGB when exporting.
This image was taken shortly after a Caracas rainstorm. Canon EOS 20D, 17mm L, 1/4@f2.8, ISO 100. Camera settings were neutral. I did not use any filters or post processing on this image, save for some noise reduction.
