joe_bailey2 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I've seen similar threads on this subject, but I am getting a slight color shiftto red when I "Save for Web". I shoot in RAW and use the Adobe RGB color space.However, I do Convert to sRBG before saving for the web and I also embed the ICCprofile for sRGB. Attached is a screen shot of the a PS file in Adobe RGB(left) and the same image in IE after converted and saved as sRGB (right). Doesanyone know why this is happening. I've read that IE (PC version) does nothonor embedded color profiles. When I open the sRGB jpg in PS, the colors lookfine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene_scherba Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You have to understand that your monitor is not exactly sRGB. sRGB is simply the "best average" of many monitors. When viewing images in Photoshop, this does not present a problem, because Photoshop performs gamut conversion to your monitor gamut precisely. "Save for Web" box, as well as internet browsers are not color managed, so you get the color shift. There is nothing you can do about this.

evan_goulet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 A similar question was posed <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00IPEt&tag=">yesterday</a>. Perhaps you have the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan_goulet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Never mind the above, it's a different situation.<P>I have found Firefox to actually be worse than IE when comparing image shifts in the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethervizion Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 As stated before, your web browser is not a colour managed app. The image will be displayed in your monitor's native colour space, which is NOT sRGB. There isn't really anything you can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_fury Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 First off I'm using a Macintosh but below applies to all web browsers. <BR> Macintosh browsers are color managed, Windows are not. Safari assumes monitor profile on untagged files. Explorer(Mac) - ColorSync must be checked in Preferences> WebContent Use ColorSync.<BR>I save my images with "Save for Web" and sRGB without a profile because a there are some Window users in the photo world, less the half but still some.. I check the image on two different Window machines and they look fine. I don't know if Photoshop for windows has the feature but in the "Save for Web" window there is a triangle in the upper right corner that when opened gives you four choices of how to save your image, 'Uncompensated Color, Standard Windows Color, Standard Macintosh Color and Use Document Color Profile'. Each one changes the color of the image some what. Suggest that you play around with these, the Windows one is one I use for general web posting.

Both browsers use exactly the same Windows GDI interface for image display.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_bailey2 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks everyone. This is what I expected and wanted to confirm. My prints from WHCC always match Photoshop and not as they appear in the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_bailey2 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks Ace. I tried the "Save for Web" option and selected Windows Standard Color and it's almost a perfect match with PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
