Taken this morning outside the front door. I should mention that I was the
only one up yet. I saw the light from the upstairs bathroom window upon
stepping out of the shower. I ran 'au naturel' out to the car, got the
camera, changed lenses and took several shots. I thought that would add a
little to the image. ;-)

The other version which was the one I failed to convert the profile on is

I hope not to hear Jack Davis say he prefers the second one better.

Thanks everyone. I got it fixed thanks to your kind assistance.
1) I still don't have a clear understanding of it though. I had gone to
the <Color Settings> dialog on the Edit menu. It pops up and in the
Working Space RGB field it says sRGB IEC61966-2.1. Seeing that, I thought
the image *already was* in sRGB, and I was using Save for Web as usual.
2) However, when I went to <Convert to Profile> on the Edit menu, the
Source Space was Adobe RGB. Setting the destination space to sRGB
(converting to) and then using Save to Web corrected the problem.
So now I ask (and I'm sure this has been mentioned here before or I could
look it up), what is it really telling me under <Color Settings> when it
says the working space is sRGB?
I'm also amazed at how little difference it has made in other images, not
doing the Convert to Profile step.

As Ryan said, make sure the color space is sRGB. Then, if you're using
PhotoShop do a Save for Web. It should come up on the Save for Web page
looking the same as your sRGB but all exif data and color space info will
be stripped. That should avoid any confusion when you put it up on the
web.

Convert to profile sRGB, that'll expand or reduce your working gamut into
the web gamut and it should be exactly the same in appearance. Don't
bother embedding a profile in the web image, it is assumed sRGB and may
be ignored.
