Maybe this has been asked and answered before.....I don't know.
Why is that when I SAVE FOR WEB in Photoshop the color of the photo goes to s$%t?????? It's like it gets really desaturated. It didn't do that before. I don't understand.
Thanks
Matt

| what's worked for me in the past is viewing my image in proof colors> monitor RGB. That's the color that you'll get :0) |

Make sure you're working in sRGB and not AdobeRGB (or at least that you convert before saving). That will screw you every time.

Yep, I was having the same problem and stumbled upon that fix for it also. I have no ideas really why saving for web does that to the color though. |

i've been finding it's only the green/cyan/blue end of the spectrum that's getting greatly desaturated. very annoying.
 this, for instance, was a lovely rich blue/green, and no mater what i did, it came out this rather drab lime.

so, if i'm working for the web, i should use the monitor, but if i'm working for print, i should use...?
ok, just tried it, and that's the problem. now i know. the question is, do i have to process each image twice if i'm going to print and post on the web?

I have a monitor that I calibrated using hardware calibration, so this might not work for everybody...
What works for me is to edit the picture using any working colorspace I want, then use Edit/Convert to profile... to convert to my monitor's profile. On my machine, this profile is called something like Monitor_06_17_2007. This effectively removes the working profile and sets the color values to what looks right on my calibrated monitor. Then I save for web.
