<p>Thanks guys and sorry for the late reply. I THOUGHT I had things set up that I would get email notifications when there were any responses to my post but apparently I do not.<br /><br />Anyway, Michael, thanks.<br> John, just one monitor it is a calibrated Nec Multisync Pa 242W. I'm using the sRGB settings right now as 90% of the work that I do is destined for the web only.<br /><br />Jeff,..thanks.<br /><br />Kent,............THANK YOU ! ...at least I know that I'm not crazy here. Well, not about this issue anyway. : -) So have you ever figured out a way around this issue when it happens to you?<br /><br />Rodney,.....thanks for the links. I will try them out.<br /><br /><br />OK, SO, if I find out that any particular browser is NOT color managed, what can one do to the image so that the color shift does not happen? Is there a way of stripping all ICC profiles from the image? If so, how would I go about doing that and would that help matters with non-color managed browsers?<br /><br />THANKS !</p>

<p>Hi Michael,<br /><br />Thanks for your response.<br /><br />As I mentioned in my first post, I'm using Chrome but the same color shift happens when I open it with Internet Explorer.<br /><br />So, if <strong>you</strong> open the image in Photoshop <strong>AND</strong> open the image up with a browser, and then minimize the Photoshop window and the browser window and put those two minimized windows side by side, as I did in my experiment, the images look exactly the same to you and the browser version is not significantly more red than the Photoshop version????<br /><br />THANKS !<br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>I have an image, (which I have distorted for the client's privacy), which takes on a color shift when viewed from within a browser. I've been working with PS for many, many years so I am aware of the usual pitfalls with browser color shifts when the image has an ICC color profile OTHER than sRGB but that is not the case in this situation.<br /> Image is sRGB. Work space in PS is sRGB and yet in a browser, the image is more saturated, particularly in the reds and not in a good way. Just so we don't get off track, I'm not asking for opinions on what color is more correct. My only concern at this point is why there is such a significant difference when EVERYTHING is sRGB. I always use Chrome for my browser but I tested it with IE and it does the exact same thing.<br /> Here is a screen grab of the browser rendition right next to the PS rendering of the same image.............<br /> <br /><br />https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public?preview=Browser-PS-Comparison.jpg<br /> <br /> Here is the actual file. <br /> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53017924/Color%20Shift%20Problem.jpg <br /><br />Please download the file and try this for yourself in PS, (using an sRGB workspace), then compare how it looks in either Chrome or IE. See if you experience the same color shift and tell me if you have any idea why this is happening.<br /> I don't remember ever having this problem before unless of course the file had an ICC color profile other than sRGB.<br /> This is particularly important to me because at least 75% of the freelance editing that I do is for the web as opposed to print.<br /> Thanks ahead of time for anyone who tries to figure this out.</p>

<p>Hi Kent,<br> Thanks very much for your input. I will re-measure and see what I come up with.<br> Yes, you're right, this has nothing to do with the client whatsoever. They are not aware of my attempts to get my View/Print Size to give me the right measurements on my screen. This is strictly about me and my very slight case of OCD trying to make things RIGHT on my end. This hasn't mattered for YEARS. Now that I know about the possibility of making it correct, well, I'm going to do it or die trying.<br /><br />OK, before ending this message, I just remeasured and YOUR RIGHT ! Not sure how I measured wrong, (other than the fact that I NEVER let anything touch my screen so it makes it kind of hard to measure while basically holding the ruler in the air right NEXT to the screen). <br /><br />I've put in the new numbers in for the screen resolution and now everything is measuring PERFECTLY. You have made my week ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!<br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>Don't know if this helps anybody but I just experimented making different size blank documents, hitting View-Print Size and then measuring.<br> If I make square images, the aspect ratio is correct but the image consistently measures .25 inches to long in both dimensions.<br /><br />If I make a blank document the same size as the original image that I started experimenting with, which is 12.25 inches wide and 9.25 inches high, it is still measuring .5 inches too wide and .25 inches too short.</p>

<p>Hi Charles,<br> I've never heard of such a thing. How would I know one way or the other.<br> By the way, this is a professional Nec PA242W</p> <p>Thanks !</p>

<p>Ray,<br> Thanks. At least I know the image is the right size. Now, does anyone know what I've done wrong that makes the image on MY screen measure 12 inches wide and 9.5 inches high. Not only is this off from what it should be but the aspect ratio isn't even correct.<br> Thanks !<br> Randy</p>

<p>First of all, Here is the image that I will be using as the test image for this exercise. <br> <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53017924/Print%20Size%20Image%20Test.jpg">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53017924/Print%20Size%20Image%20Test.jpg</a><br> (I filled the image with black because it is for a book that will not be published for about a month yet.)<br> Here is a document file that contains all of my words below, along with screen grabs that help to explain things better.<br> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53017924/View%20Print%20Size.docx<br> <br /> <br /> I wanted to make “view/print size” actually work in Photoshop. I found the following article on the subject.<br> <a href="http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/print-size/">http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/print-size/</a><br> To make a long story short, the formula is to find what your screen resolution is set to, (hopefully it is set to your native resolution). For me, that’s 1920 x 1200 pixels. Next measure the distance in inches across your monitor. For me that’s 20 inches.<br> Divide the width in pixels by the inches across your screen. 1920 divided by 20 equals 96. So, the real PPI of my screen in 96.<br> Now go into Photoshop’s Edit/Preferences/Units and Rulers and put 96 into the screen resolution box.</p> <p>At this point, when using View/Print size, the image on screen should measure the exact same as the print size.<br> OK, so in MY case. I did all of the above, (actually I’ve done all of the above three times at this point), and here are my results. I’m looking at an image that I had edited for a client. The client’s wishes were for the image to be 12.25 inches wide and 9.25 inches high and at a resolution of 325. That is all but exactly what Photoshop is showing the image size to be.</p> <p> and yet, when I try out View/Print size, the image on my screen measures 12 inches wide and 9.5 inches high. So not only is the measurement off, but the aspect ratio isn’t even correct !<br> Just in case some of you have noticed that when I put 96 into the screen resolution, I left the PRINT resolution at 300, well, I experimented with putting 325 in there and that made zero difference in how the image measured on my screen.<br /> <br /> Can anyone figure out why this has not worked correctly to make Image/Screen Size render an image on my screen that measures the print size correctly? Not only THAT but the aspect ratio isn’t even correct!</p>

<p>Couldn't get that to work. Anybody else have any ideas?</p>

<p>I cannot try for myself, but wouldn't using the eyedropper tool on the eyes work to add the blue to the color palette?<br> <br> Well worth a try. Thanks.</p>

<p>Hey there,</p> <p>I'm trying to make a two frame animation for the attached two images via save for web. When I try, I lose the blue eyes.<br /><br />I've never put much study into the controls on the save for web interface. Is there something that I'm missing?<br /><br />Thanks,<br> Randy</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Richard,<br> Here you go. Does this tell you anything?</p> <p>Thanks !</p><div></div>
