giggles Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 My images look great while I am editing them in PS and when they come back from the printer BUT when I try to post them here they all turn red. It is like I give my subjects an instant sunburn. Is there a setting in PS that I have screwed up? My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3 as well.

marc_rochkind Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Most web browsers aren't color managed, but you should always post pictures after converting them to sRGB anyway. To check to see if the pictures are OK (after converting to sRGB), use a color-managed browser. On Windows, I think the only choice may be Safari. The image being OK doesn't mean other viewers will see it OK, however. You have no control over that. Their monitors probably aren't calibrated anyway.

kari v Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 "To check to see if the pictures are OK (after converting to sRGB), use a color-managed browser." I can't see how that helps. Most people are not using color managed browsers and "most people" are the ones that are going to look at your pics. Convert to sRGB and you're good to go.

marc_rochkind Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kari-- You answer is almost exactly the same as something I said on another thread here earlier this week, except for the part about it not helping. My point is that when you convert to sRGB, you have to check the image somehow to make sure it's OK to post. A color-managed browser is the way to do that.

emre Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just so you know, CS3's "Save for Web" converts to sRGB by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giggles Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I am using CS2 for now. So dumb question, where do I convert to sRGB for my images on want to place online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 You want 'convert to profile'. I think this is in the 'Edit' menu in CS2 (in PS7 it's under Image->Mode). Make sure you use 'convert to' and not 'assign'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
