: Image quality of PSD-originating JPG images degrades and changes significantly when uploading images online I really hope someone can help! In the past few months I have been having issues with

The issue is most likely the color profile that you are using.

Adobe RGB uses a wider gamut than sRGB - specifically in the cyan-green range.

sRGB is design for best color reproduction on the widest amount of standard monitors so will give you a better result.

When saving your images you should use 'Save for Web & Devices' and be sure that the color profile you are using is sRGB (in Photoshop CS5 this is a tick box labeled 'Convert to sRGB').

A google search for 'adobe rgb 1998 vs srgb' should give you plenty more info on this.

Some more background info (from cambridgeincolour.com):

sRGB is a RGB color space proposed by HP and Microsoft because it
approximates the color gamut of the most common computer display
devices. Since sRGB serves as a "best guess" for how another person's
monitor produces color, it has become the standard color space for
displaying images on the internet. sRGB's color gamut encompasses just
35% of the visible colors specified by CIE. Although sRGB results in
one of the narrowest gamuts of any working space, sRGB's gamut is
still considered broad enough for most color applications.

Adobe RGB 1998 was designed (by Adobe Systems, Inc.) to encompass most
of the colors achievable on CMYK printers, but by using only RGB
primary colors on a device such as your computer display. The Adobe
RGB 1998 space encompasses roughly 50% of the visible colors specified
by CIE — improving upon sRGB's gamut primarily in cyan-greens.
