Using a pc, my images are saved under the profile/settings (adobe rgb1998) in Adobe CS2, however, my problem is this, when I saved the image from Photoshop, the color cast/ saturation is lighter/faded when I post the images up on my website or viewed them on the internet on other websites or email. How can I fix this problem so I may upload my images with the correct color collection? Is it the profile/ settings in Photoshop cs2? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Convert your images to sRGB before saving for the web.

Also, check if you need to re calibrate your monitor profile. Monitors do drift over time, so dig out Adobe Gamma (or your third party calibration facility) just in case.

Hi John,

As Chris said, the best thing you can do is convert your images to sRGB before you save them. Then, whether you do a normal "Save As" JPEG, where the color profile is retained, or "Save For Web" which strips out that information, the images will be in a color space that conforms more closely to what the gamut is of images on the web. Unfortunately, web browsers are not color-managed applications, so the best you can do is produce some reasonable compromise in the colors that will hopefully look good on the broad variety of monitors (calibrated and uncalibrated, CRTs and LCDs, etc.) that others are using. Only on your own calibrated system or another which you know to be calibrated and using color-managed applications can you expect the colors to be as faithfully rendered as you desire.

Regards,

Daryl
