I’m having a little problem since switching from PS 5.0 to PS 7. Everytime I create a graphic in PS 7, it looks great – just the way I want it to look. But, when I view the graphic in a browser, the image looks kind of washed out, like a lot of the color has drained away. It never used to do that when I used PS 5.0. Does anyone know why this may be happening. Thanks for any insight.

More than likely you are using Adobe RGB as your working space. This is a specialized color space with advantages for people involved in print, and certain high quality digital work. Some people swear by it, and others just swear at it.

Switch to sRGB as your working space, convert your existing images to the sRGB profile, and I’m betting the problem goes away.
