PSD changing saturation/brightness when saving/exporting?

I Have a relatively simple 8bit RGB layered PSD which looks great
within photoshop. However when saving for web in any format, the colors
seem to get a bit washed out and the image appears lighter.
The strange thing is that if I open the PSD in Fireworks, the image has
the same washed out effect.
What could be causing this?

In article <2006100818354716807-boog@felchcom>,
Your color management settings are wrong.
Photoshop does "color management." That means it changes the colors you
see on your computer screen in order to compensate for your exact brand
of monitor, input device, and so on.
Other programs don't do color management. They don't show color the same
way Photoshop does.
If you want to see your images in Photoshop the way that you see them in
other programs, you can disable Photoshop's color management using the
Color Settings command, use a different profile, or use View->Proof
Setup->Monitor RGB.

Not true.
I would suggest that you do a little reading up on Colour Management. Have
a look at the Photoshop Help Files.
sRGB and Adobe RGB are Workspace Profiles, not Monitor Profiles.

It's important to use the same Color Management settings in your image
as you do on your monitor. These can be changed when you create a new
file (there will be an option asking you which setting you want). If
you need to use a different CM scheme for your monitor than sRGB (I
have to use a custom profile on my iBook otherwise everything looks
blue), then AFAIK you should also choose that setting in your image.

...
It's almost certainly due to using Adobe RGB as your working space. Try
converting to sRGB first and I bet dollars to donuts the problem will go
away.
