I have never used photoshop but my brother has. He had a similar issue 
with images looking washed out when uploaded to the web due to colour 
space issues. All I really remember about his solution was that he found 
a different place in the photoshop settings to specify the colour space 
of exported files.
The image that looks correct, the one with the embedded profile, this 
one shows no sign of editing by digikam in the exif data. So I really do 
think that the ProPhotoRGB is coming from photoshop. Keep digging in the 
settings.
