    Monitor Calibration & Lightroom (and Photoshop)

    Hello, I have a problem. Normally I shot in RAW, edit the image, save a jpg (with sRGB Color space) resized for an on-line printing service and another jpg with full size.
    Recently I bought a Spyder express monitor calibrator, so I have my calibrating profile called "spyder2express.icc" and I configured in windows xp my display to read this profile.

    I edited a raw file with lightroom, but when I saved to jpg it didn't look like the edited raw file, but it was mure saturated.
    The same thing happened with Photoshop, looking the photo with the software is ok, but the jpg looked with xp viewer, ot faststone capture, or irfanview the jpg is different.
    I'm sure that the profile is sRGB, so why this difference?

    Is there anyone who can explain me what to do, and how to configure my computer?

    Many thanks in advance

    Have you made a print to compare with your monitor?

    Not now. I don't have a printer. I usually use to print with an on-line service.

    What I don't like is that the photo viewed in Photoshop or lightroom is ok, if I look at the same jpg with xp image viewer, the photo is more saturated

    The XP image view is not colour managed so colours will not be accurate. Photoshop and Lightroom are colour managed and will show colours properly.

    Only trust the image in colour managed applications.
