[thelist] Photoshop > Colour washout on 'save for web'

[Paul Bennett]

Hi again Roberto,
 
thanks for your continued help with this.
 You did presume correctly that I run Windows. One thing that I've noticed is that Adobe Gamma is not present on my machine (I'm running PS7). Is it bundled into PS now?

I know I've used Gamma before (PS 5.5) and it sorted display and colour issues beautifully.

The source image mode was RGB (so that wasn't the issue as has been suggested by Andrew) and  I've switched the source image profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

STILL the colour drops when I save as.. or save for web.

I've posted a screenshot here (so you can see I'm not insane)

Paul,

I forgot something that may be of some importance (before you actually change to fireworks… ;-) ):

Depending on the source of your image, it may come already with a profile, and there may be a mismatch between the image’s profile and the profile you’ve set for web. So, it may be a good idea to assign the sRGB
IEC61966-2.1 color profile to the image (menu image / mode / assign
profile) before you begin working on it, or to convert it to this profile (menu image / mode / convert to profile) if you’ve already worked on it.

Also, I presumed, maybe wrongly, that you were working on windows… In Mac, the Adobe Gamma is substituted by Monitor Calibrator and you may not want to delete it…

All these indications were targeted to Photoshop CS. If you are using other version, let me know.

You have some interesting information that may help you on Photoshop CS
help: press F1 and select Producing Consistent Color in the left menu.

Roberto
