Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don’t do that.
ProPhoto RGB is really a 16 bit color space. Jpg is only capable of 8 bits. Convert your images to a more standard color space, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB before saving as jpeg. As a matter of fact, I would recommend not using ProPhoto RGB at all.
For now, the mystery of the blue tint will probably have to wait until you can put a copy of the image up somewhere. I suspect it has to do with calibrating your monitor to a non-native white point, but that’s just a guess without seeing the image.
