This is not necessarily a Flickr specific problem but how browsers read color profiles. At the time of this video, Firefox ignored profiles and tried to display your Adobe RGB files as web default sRGB. Resulting in lost color. I would guess that the photos would have looked correct in Safari (a browser that does read profiles) You can simulate this affect in Photoshop using Edit > Assign Profile.
I learned the "convert to working space" from the start... so that was never an issue. Lately though I had a nightmare when all my Capture One profiles went gone... and I only had the Rec 709 video profiles!! =disaster.
Post how to collect your profiles in a spare 'storage' file... to recover later if needed.
Thanks Trey. What Colorspace are you shooting in, though? AdobeRGB is supposed to have a bigger gamut, and I assume that for HDR you want all the gamut you can have..
Ditto! I also have the "monitor is way to bright" sydrome, therefore, when editing images for Flickr and printing, the prints are darker and on Flickr they show up darker on other LCDs b/c I'm editing in a brighter environment. I read in Shutterbug that your LCD should be approximately 120 candelas. The specs on my LCD say 300 candelas!! On full brightness, it's almost like looking directly at the sun! I'm currently working on the issue.
Thanks, Trey! I use FlickrExport in Aperture, and make it use the less fallible sRGB color space when exporting, and my results have been fine so far. Or so they seem. I'll have to check this.
Thanks so much for this I had the exact same problem :)

Hi Trey;
I seen the problem before, but don't usually experience it because I export out of Lightroom2
I wonder why not? I guess LR does colorspace differently. You thoughts Please.

Oh my god, this has been bothering me to no end! I just gave up and thought I would have to put up with it.
You have no idea how thankful I am for you to explain this!
