I am using Photoshop 6.0 on Windows XP. Whenever I create a .psd RGB image, its colors look good in Photoshop 6.0 or Illustrator 10 or Adobe Reader 6.0. However, as a JPEG or TIFF or using the ‘Save For The Web’ setting the tint of the colors changes from what I see in Photoshop (or any Adobe product) to either black and gray or green and gray (and the colors become flat in either case). I’ve attempted viewing the images after running the Adobe Gamma from Windows Control Panel (per a suggestion within this forum) on the current computer and two others. All show the PCs show the image fine in Photoshop, but the image is dark and dull in non-Photoshop programs and on the web.

How can I correct this issue?

Thank You,

Egg Embry

This is because the softwares were the colours looks "right" are colour managed and the other ones aren’t. Your best bet is to convert your images to sRGB before saving for web.
