Hi, folks. This is quite possibly a ridiculous question but it just keeps stumping me.
I’m using CS3, North American Prepress, Adobe RGB (1998), am working in RGB 8-bit (with Save-for-Web settings of 60 quality, non-optimized, non-progressive, non-ICC profile, no check next to "Convert to sRGB") and every time I use the Save for Web feature, my colors shift, to the point that I can’t even verify accuracy before printing. My monitor is calibrated, but for some really stupid reason, I can’t figure out why my Saved-for-Web Jpegs have an entirely different cast than my other RGB 8-bit files. Is there some hidden setting that I missed? Basically, the colors become flatter and duller–not so much that you’d notice if the two images weren’t side by side, but enough to destroy any critical color-matching.
The only clue I have is that when I re-open the Jpeg that I just Saved for Web, Photoshop informs me that the file "does not have an embedded RGB profile." I’m almost certain that has something to do with it, but I can’t figure out why the Saved-for-Web Jpeg wouldn’t have the same profile as the file from which it was saved. Hence the quandary…
Should I just stop using the Save-for-Web feature? That’s what I’m starting to think, especially since a regular save keeps the colors in perfect working order.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
