Why do photos look washed out when viewed with a web browser?

Saving in SRGB (tried with Adobe 1998 as well). They look very saturated here on my computer, but as soon as i upload them and view in Safari/Firefox, there is a noticable decrease in saturation.

Any ideas?
 
How are you saving in sRGB?

You need to actually do a convert to sRGB for that to work properly. I can't remember the exact menu command.
 
Well when i load the image into CS3 using ACR, im opening the image in sRGB.
 
My camera is set to SRGB. When opening in Adobe, go to (I think, this is from memory) Edit -> Profiles. Convert it to Adobe RGB 1998 and then edit the photograph. When you're done, convert it back to sRGB and save it for web. I've found that by doing this my photos look pretty close to what they looked like when I was editing, besides jpeg compression artifacts and the like.

Or do you mean that they are going straight from your camera to the web without editing? In that case, I dunno.
