Hello, I’m Claudio from Rome.
I opened several raw files (I got Camera Raw 2.3) and resized them. When I go and save for the web my image is a little bit more gray than the first one. (I need them for a quick preview)

Thanks a lot

adjust your calibration by running adobe gamma wizard from the control
panel.
****************************************
When you click on File > Save for Web you may notice a change in the color balance of the image, often to a darker version. The reason is that the Preview Menu default in the Save for Web option is set to Uncompensated Color.
Here’s how to eliminate that color shift:
In Save for Web, click on the Preview Menu pointer at the top right of the picture frame. There is probably a check mark alongside the Uncompensated Color option. Choose instead Use Document Color Profile, and the pre-Save for Web color balance will return. (You may also select Standard Windows Color or Standard Macintosh Color to get a general idea of how the image may look on another platform.)
Note that this change to Use Document Color Profile must be made in the Original and Optimized views, and for each frame in the 2-up and 4-up views. The new settings will remain in effect during future use of the Save for Web option.

Good luck.

Correct. LEAVE IT THAT WAY. By default, Web browsers do not use color management. Save for Web shows you the image the way other people will see it in a Web browser.

Bad advice. You do this, and what you see in Save for Web will not match what your Web users see in their browsers.

That is so and with Windows operating system there is no other option either, on the Mac systems IE can do color-management.

Save for Web shows you the image the way other people
will see it in a Web browser.

Actually the SaveForWeb command shows the image in such way that the color-management that the Photoshop application does is turned off. Now, your system is calibrated to the "Windows default" gamma 2.2 space using AdobeGamma tool then the SaveForWeb command shows the image according to that calibration.

However the vast majority of the computers on the Web are not calibrated to the "Windows default" gamma 2.2 space using AdobeGamma or other such tool. In this case the "other people" do not see the images like they appear in the SaveForWeb dialog, instead the appearance of the images is more dark because their system are in the native gamma of the monitor that is 2.5.

At the boot-up of the PC the AdobeGammaLoader runs, this will load the gamma calibration to the lookup tables in the display driver card. When the system is calibrated to the "Windows default" gamma 2.2 space one can easily notice the when this happens, the screen suddenly becomes more bright at that moment. This is the difference of the image appearance on that gamma space 2.2 system compared to the most typical PC on the Web.
