It's not a matter of gold standard; it's a matter of the right standard. If they use different color profiles, you need to interpret it using the color profile it was created with to get back to the its original colors, regardless of the amount of compression used when saving it.

This doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't the TIFFs be the gold standard. JPEGs compressed for the web would be a step down from the full rez TIFFS, no?

Personally, I would grade them in photoshop, come up with an action and batch process them there, instead of fiddling with AE's color management which is mainly meant for video processing of different color profiles. Photoshop is going to be a better tool for detailed image matching. Although of course it is possible with AE.

I don't usually have to worry about Color Space management, but I am
making a piece about a photographer and the book of her photos she is
publishing.

She has given me high res TIFF files of those photos for use in an AE
built montage. She has also given me low res jpg's built for the web so I
can compare the two (TIFF and JPG) and get the tiff to look like the jpg.
Even though I know some things about color management, it seems I don't
know enough to get the TIFF's to look like the JPEG's. (the JPEGs' look
more saturated and orangey and in IMHO, look worse that the TIFF's when I
bring both in without changing any settings.

Can anyone point me to a good resource for figuring out where I am going
wrong ?
