Suggestions for accurate color as well as exporting compression.

Hi all,

I've determined that for reasons I dont quite understand the color's of the projects I am exporting are quite different from those within photoshop while working on my projects. I have taken some screenshots to demonstrate this.



As you can see the Photoshop project I have going on looks quite different, the purple has become blue when previewing the render, and the actual render looks just like the preview. I dont believe it is a monitor calibration issue. Illustrator and After Effects are not exhibiting the same behavior.

Additionally, when exporting images with gradients, what might be the ideal process and compression to reduce banding?

When Save for Web uncheck "Convert to sRGB". Then it shouldn't look diferent anymore.

Thank you for the tip. I tried that, and it is still happening.

When I dont do Save for Web and export as JPEG from "Save As..." It comes out looking great! I use save for web to get PNG's with transparency, so I do need to use Save for Web accurately :(

Thank you Steve. I could not determine where to edit my previous post to correct the image attachments.

Would you happen to be able to diagnose what the issue is based on the specifics so far?

[Tylers86]

this works for me

What are you referring to?

I am having such problems with the same thing, I wish I could see what it says on your screen shot, but my eyes are too bad, could you maybe tell me what you have set it to?

I was curious because of the issues you've been having. I magnified and squinted the best I could. lol. They are the same as my default settings ... as far as I could tell
