Desgin Guru's On Macs - Help Please....
 

Hi.

I have cs3 and cs2 on my mac. Everything is fine until I save for the web. The image always comes out desaturated. See pic as an example.

The left is the original PSD - the right is the desaturated output.

Does anyone have a fix to this issue?

I'm not on a mac... But still check if you use the same color profiles for both photoshop and your monitor... Should be sRGB

your optimize settings most likely.
gif jpg quality progressive etc etc....

does that officially make me a "guru"

I noticed that too, so I do all of my final photo imaging in ImageReady - when you click the button at the bottom of the PhotoShop Toolbox, it switches over to ImageReady, and you will see the color shift.

I generally have to darken the images a bit, and if they are too saturated, use Hue and Saturation with a setting of (-10).

Hope this helps...

your optimize settings most likely.... most definitely
gif jpg quality progressive etc etc.

Thanks all for the tips.... I think however I found the solution - well more of a hack but it works. :upsidedow

Thanks again for all the help.

Assign profile to sRGB and then do save for web. It will make it come out correctly. Save for web drops all color profile information and if it's not already in sRGB it's gonna look fucked up.

optimize setting might help
