Saving files in PS - Help Please!

[dgessler]

Hi,

I'm having this very, very annoying problem with photoshop. I would make any sort of graphic, then save the file to my computer, and the color would be very, very much "off". The color would often times show as lighter, and it's totally not the same color as it were inside the PS workspace. I'll show an example between the photo "before & after". This is happening whether or not I use "save for web" or the save as feature, and whether I save it as a JPG, GIF, PNG, etc. If anyoen has any ideas on what could be causing this and how I could possibly fix it, please post here!

What it looks like in the PS Workspace: http://www.magemporium.com/buttonFWG.png
What it looks like after I save it: http://www.magemporium.com/button.gif

Also note, I took a screen shot of my desktop while I was in PS, and cropped just that section in Fireworks to make the buttonFWG.

Thanks,
Dan Gessler

Your workspace will probably be AdobeRGB. Outside PS, and for anything to be presented on the screen, it is best to use sRGB.

Also: is your monitor calibrated?

Hi dgessler and welcome to the board


My idea; turn off colormanagment.
I never use it when I make something for the web and the endresult is always very close to the original.

Gaussian that worked! Turned off color management and it seems tobe working perfectly now, thanks!
