Images on websites

Hi Everyone,
I have uploaded some images on my websites. After seeing the original images it was seen that the images on website have shifted colours and even looked lowres.

I like the images colour and sharpness on this site :
http://www.gallerystock.com/

Can anyone help with what are the best profile for the images on the web. Plus how can I maintain the sharpness of images.

Thanks in advance

For web content, make sure that all the images are in the sRGB color space. In Photoshop CS4 the save-for-web option makes this easier than previous versions.

If your image is any other color space the colors will change when rendered in a browser (as they don't implement color management and just "assume" sRGB).

...and if you need more sharpness, make sure your image is resized to the exact size it should be used in, and then apply the smart sharpen filter. Try starting with lens blur, a radius of 0,3px, and a strength of maybe 75% (do NOT check "more accurate"). Tweak until happy.

Switch your Photoshop temporarily to RGB Proof, so you can see how the images look at the web. (It's different by default.) Yes, and you always should sharpen bicubic downscaled images.
