I wrote an earlier post about the problems I have been having with the color casts of my pics after processing in Photoshop and then saving to JPG. I finally found someone with the same problem, and better yet, the solution:
I shot a photo yesterday which has a reddish tint to it. This “warm glow” is very important to the image and I put a lot of work into getting it right. The image was shot as a DNG and manipulate in Photoshop, I saved it as a .psd for further manipulation or correction.
Now that I got it right I lowered the bits from 16 to 8 and saved the .psd as a .jpg and it looks great in photoshop, can’t see the difference on my humble monitor. But when I open the same jpg file in another viewer like irfanview, that warm reddish glow is gone and there is slightly green cast over the picture which is totally wrong.
I tried it including the ICC and without, with save for web and save as jpg, always the same greenish tint which I don't see in photoshop.
How do I get a jpg with the same colors? I want to offer it as a print on redbubble.com, so I need a high quality JPEG with the right colors.

Ha, I solved it myself,
I thought I was working in sRGB but I was working in Adobe RGB.
Using "Convert to Profile" with sRGB as destination, Adobe as engine and Perceptual as intent I managed to output a .jpg with the correct colors!
