 |
|
I used multiple images to create a header for my website. When I am making the header it looks great and all blends well. However when I save it and view it from anywhere else, it doesn't blend well and I can see different colored sections.
I never know when it looks good.
Here is a link to the photo... any ideas?

How do you save it? If you use the 'save for web' you can preview it in a window and try lots of different settings.
It's hard to say why it's happening, but one thing to look at are the color spaces. WHen you say 'view it from anywwhere else', do you mean on from the web? The web uses a color space called sRGB, which is smaller than, say adobeRGB or prophoto. If you're working in a big color space and moving to the web, it could be one reason. What happens if you edit>convert to profile... sRGB?
Try these two things to start (unless someone else has some ideas). |

You are correct. When I view it on my computer and or monitor it looks fine. When I view it on the web at work, or someone elses house it looks like heck.
I always just go file, save as, <filename>.jpg. I always save it as a "12" or maximum filesize.
I just tried converting it to the sRGB and will see how it looks at work tomorrow.
Anything else I should know? |

You will need to unify the disparities in the images, by using a gradient set to colour blend mode or similar. You can see that the composites are all different shades and you need to unify them.

I used the gradient tool to make the image blend from dark to lighter at the top. I am familiar with the gradient tool.
Sorry for being somewhat slow, but can you explain step by step how to do what you mention? Would I need to recreate the image or could I apply this fix to the one I've already made?
Thanks! |
