Try restarting Photoshop with all the default settings. Click the icon then immediately, before PS has a chance to open, hold down shift, alt and Ctrl and keep them down till PS opens. You'll be asked whether you'd like to delete the preferences. Click yes. When you change from Adobe RGB to sRGB you can expect the appearance of the image to change because it's a different colour space. There's no such thing as perfect color. Not even "RIGHT" color. Inks, phosphors and all the guys at IEC in Paris can't get ONE unified theory on what RED means. Let alone what "skin-tone" means. The key word is perception. It must look and "Feel" the way you want it to. Then, for all intents and purposes, it's right. If you can't get a decent profile, use standardized adjustment layers. Make a curves layer and a colour balance layer and save them in a small psd document that opens easily. Put them in to documents just before you print. Adobe RGB is not much use as an output color space if you haven't worked on the image. It's too wide gamut and images can look grey and slightly muddy. sRGB is more punchy and generally better looking at first glance. Adobe RGB, like RAW files, are good if you want to and are prepared to do some sweating over a hot computer. They do need a little work but if your images are worth the work then it's the way to go. Otherwise you can get lovely results shooting large fine JPEGS in sRGB (Go on... shoot me down technocrats!)
