Hi,i have to ask a question. I set up my camera in AdobeRGB (5dmkII),my monitor Imac 21.7" is calibrate with Spyder 4 pro and Photoshop cs6 is set to RGB:Adobe RGB,and always when i save de work check the "embed color profile: adobe RGB 1998 " tick.

This configuration is correct ? or need change to sRGB ?? For example in Fotolia the thumbnails looks differents than Photodune (Test in Mozilla Firefox)....

Your setup will work fine as long as all the places your images are displayed are profile aware (meaning that they can read and use color profiles).

The problem is that still - hard to believe it takes so long, but it does - many tools and browsers are nto profile aware and the default behavior is to assume an image is sRGB. When that happens with your AdobeRGB files, they don't look right(grayish reds and washed out skin tones)

Until all the agencies handle incoming AdobeRGB files correctly (generating previews they've converted to sRGB) the only way to address this is to convert to sRGB for the JPEGs you upload.

My workflow is to shoot RAW (my setup is to make AdobeRGB JPEGs in camera if I ever use that option, but I almost never do any more). In Lightroom I do some edits and then move a 16 bit Adobe RGB image over to Photoshop. My edited final is saved that way as a PSD. I then convert to sRGB and 8 bit to save a JPEG for upload.

As AdobeRGB is a wider color space than sRGB I'd rather leave my PSDs in that space. For many images you can't see the difference, but for some vivid turquoise seas from some Caribbean pictures, the conversion to sRGB lost some of those lovely turquoise tones. My PSDs will be around a while. I hope the current limitations of the agencies will go away in time, so I don't want to keep anything but the never-to-be-edited JPEG in the limited sRGB color space

And your English is fine for getting your point across, so no worries :)
