Hi all,

Have a problem I’m not sure what to do with. If a make up art work in PH 6.0, save as a high quality jpeg and then view the jpeg in a picture viewer, such as ACDSee or with a browser. I find my colors have changed. What do I have to set to reproduce the colors I’m seeing it PH to other viewing apps?

The issue is simply "color management". Photoshop is a color managed application. Thus it embeds a profile in your image so that other color managed applications know how to interpret the colors. Non-color managed applications ignore this information.

If you monitor is calibrated correctly (via Adobe Gamma) you *should* be able to work in an sRGB color space and get reasonable reproduction of those colors across non-color managed apps.

So what do you do? You either calibrate your monitor and choose sRGB or Web color space (Edit|Color Settings), or you turn color management off – which is generally not recommended.

If you want to do it right, go here and spend about 15 minutes. Probably the best reference on the web.

"choose sRGB or Web color space (Edit|ColorSettings), or you turn color management off – which is generally not recommended"

Looking where you said, I dont see anything called sRGB or web color space. I have Emulate photoshop 4, Europe prepress default, Japan prepress default, US prepress default,Web Graphic default.Is this the correct area I should be looking at?

Thanks for the help. I’d bet this question is getting tiresome.

Next box down – that will automatically make the box you are in say "custom, which you can save as a name you can recognize. You want "working spaces".

Peace,
