Am I doing something wrong - Lightroom?

[Precrime]

Certainly not an expert in post production using Lightroom, but I thought I was doing something really simple.

After taking a few shots of some vivid orange marigolds in the back garden in RAW. I imported them to Lightroom and the shot was just as I wanted it, so I exported it as a JPEG. This again looked fine.

I uploaded it to Flickr and the orange colour just seems very dull, with no life to it at all. Therefore defeating the purpose of the shot

I thought it may be the screen calibration, but the camera LCD and the RAW file in Lightroom seems to identical in appearance, as far as it can do anyway.

Sorry I can't show a before and after for obvious reasons.

Any ideas?

Are you exporting the file with colourspace set to Adobe RGB and then viewing in in a non-aRGB aware application such as a web browser.

If so, export it as sRGB instead.

Yep......that's probably it. Thanks

No probs - very easy to do.
