When looking at a picture I was getting ready to send off to a contest, I realized that the finished jpg image looks more golden/tan in the jpg image that I saved to a folder on my laptop than the image I was looking at when doing the color correcting in Photoshop. When I went back and looked at some other photos, I noticed that it has been happening to other images as well. More noticeable on some than on others....Wow, When I look at the picture I just attached here, It doesn't have the red/orange tint that I see when I view the image in my files. I am totally confused now. Can't wait to see how this looks when I upload it to Uglyhedgehog.
It looks fine to me. That is indeed odd, since you're using the same monitor. Does this happen on all pics, or only the ones in that folder?

Just noticed it this morning. I will have to check other other folders to see if it is the same.
The issue is the colorspace. Output your JPEG into sRGB and you won't have this issue. The attachment displays differently in different views because of the uncalibrated colorspace, that is, failing to use sRGB.
PhotoShop makes this colorspace change difficult. You'd be better served completing all your PS editing and returning to Adobe Lightroom and using the LR Export Dialog to assure the sRGB colorspace, preferably creating a 1-click export automation via a User-defined Export that encodes (saves) all your standard settings in a repeatable process.
is your monitor color calibrated? If not that may be the cause of color mismatch.
Additionally the color space for anything posted to the web should be converted to sRGB.
You know, there's lots of talk about colour space. I use sRGB for anything going to the Net. But I don't use it for printing. I can't imagine that looking at the same thing on the same monitor it would make a difference. I never see a difference.

When someone else looks at that same file on a different monitor, that's when the unknown colorspace become the more obvious issue. Without the universal sRGB, you no longer have a prediction of how the image will look on their equipment. Even different software on the same computer are likely to yield different results, if the absence of the sRGB colorspace impacts their behavior.
