 Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 3:01 pm Post subject: Saving Images... |
 |
|
I am not sure if there is anyway around this but...
Whenever I am done with a piece of artwork and I save it for the web, the colors never come out the same as when I am working on it inside of photoshop. It comes out darker and a different hue/saturation that what I had.
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much!!  |

First make sure to run Adobe Gamma (windows) or Monitor Calibrator (Mac). If you are on a Mac, set your gamma to 2.2 in the calibration process.
If you work in a wide color space like Adobe RGB, you must convert to sRGB (Image>Mode>Convert to Profile and choose sRGB) before saving for web.
If all you do is web work, it may benefit you to go to Color Settings and choose Web Graphics Default or one of the General Purpose Defaults to keep sRGB as your working color space. |

Thanks for the reply!!
Unfortunately, I tried all those things. I made sure that my Gama Loader was in the startup by runing msconfig. Then I tried the other options and no luck.
Any other ideas? |

Here is something interesting. I was thinking about doing a print screen to show, but then this happened.....
When I copied the Print Screen into Photoshop and then Saved it for the web, the colors were correct.
But, when I create an image from scratch, it messes it up.
Not sure if that helps any, but it may. |

Look up "Adobe Gamma" in your PS help file to make sure you are running it correctly. I'm pretty sure that is where your problem is if your color settings are right. (Or not  ) |

Well, I ran the program for Adobe Gamma... it took me through several steps which I mostly did not understand. I am wondering if I re-install Photoshop... maybe I can calibrate it in the begining ? If not, any other options? |

Calibrating your monitor is the first step in getting good color. Running Adobe Gamma calibrates your monitor at the system level. Reinstalling PS won’t change anything.
What have been your results? Has recalibrating your monitor and resetting your Color Settings changed anything? Do you still have a problem with color shift?
see this Adobe article on running Adobe Gamma:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/321608.html
and... what is your OS? (I think there was a problem with Adobe Gamma and Windoes NT) |

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Some of the test in Adobe Gamma were a little confusing to me, but I just messed around with it until it worked. The problem is solved!!! My screen is a little darker than I would like it, but I will get used to it.
Thanks so much for everyone's help!! |
