Color changes - 03-19-2008, 03:16 PM


I am opening RAW images in CS3 RAW and then open image in CS3 until I feel I have what I want (color balance, exposure, saturation, etc.). When I finish I save as jpg and post them to myspace and the color difference is huge. They seem washed out and I don't get it. I compare the JPG in CS3 to my posted pics and it doesn't make sense.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check the ICC profile for each image. It should be set to sRGB for web images. Anything else is going to render odd-looking colors.

Thanks John. Now is sRGB IEC61966-2.1 what you are referring to? I don't see sRGB for web images.

It all depends on what color space are you working on Photoshop sRGB is the one you need to work for web images, Go to Edit> Color Settings> sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then you will need to be carefull to watch the Info Palette so you don't get off the color gamut by busting the saturation to much or for that matter the contrast or brightness. The info palette will give you warnings, to let you know that you are out of the color range.

You're welcome. You might want to create an action that converts your web-destined images to 8-bit sRGB before saving as JPEG. Makes it easier.
