    This eliminates Smugmug as causing the problem. What if you write a file for each layer and visit them with Safari in different tabs. See a difference?
    If not now, when?

    OK I think I resolved this but it doesn't seem right but it worked. Upon export from lightroom instead of sRGB I used Color LCD. Then I uploaded to smugmug and the saturation was perfect when I view it. But everything I read says the color space should be sRGB. Seems wrong but it worked. Will that be a problem upon printing from smugmug. I dunno just trying anything that seems to work even though it might not be technically correct. What to you think?

    That will be a problem for printing on Smugmug and it may be a problem for everyone else who views your images. That fact that it works means that color management on your system is probably messed up and your monitor profile is probably set wrong. Do you calibrate your monitor? Have you ever set the monitor profile on your system.

    Maybe not sure. i went into preferences and display and color. Should I calibrate there? What should I calibrate to? gamma 2.2 etc? Dont know much about that. I have some option at the beginning to select Color LCD Adobe RGB, sRGB etc. as well as doing a custom calibration but don;t know the setting I should use. Can you recommend? Thanks.

    I don't know how the Mac settings work. Maybe someone with a Mac can offer some advice.
