Hi Gene,

Only when the photographer took a fairly bad image to start with. :-)

It can be a lot of other things, but it's not the browsers anymore.

Well, maybe AOL.  They are so far back in a cave, I don't really know 
anything about them...

It's usually either the monitor is not calibrated correctly, or it's set to 
a limited color depth like 256 colors, or Photoshop's color management is 
not set up correctly, or the photographer is working in the wrong color 
space...

But mostly, it's that the photographer doesn't convert the image from 
whatever the working space is in Photoshop to sRGB before saving as a JPEG.
