    I upload via Lightroom, and found that sharpening for screen on detailed images makes them look awful. If I leave off sharpening, or do standard/low, it looks much better.

    To keep the Srgb colour space when going from Lightroom to Ps you will also need to change it in the external editing preferences AND also in ACR( so it will ‘stick”)- ACR comes with Ps- also be sure to check down the bottom of PS the document profile to ensure that it is indeed in the Srgb profile.To make them look great, you need to know exactly the width of the space you are trying to place the image into- e.g., Fb will do 2048px, and display well on large screens, some blogs are only 960px. you just have to know this info! The smaller they are , the quicker they will load and use less data downloads as well! There’s a huge knowledge need in all of this……
