Hi. I just uploaded a picture and the color is not the same on dpchallenge once uploaded. Anythoughts?

Before you start working on your shot in Photoshop, click View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB then View > Proof Colors. Then work your picture up and upload it. It should look the same.
We should actually make this a sticky post. |

I gotta try that out. Sometimes some of my color shots come out with more cyan in the blues than I wished after saving for web.

OK, in PS under View/Proof Setup, I'm changing (in my case) from Working CMYK to Monitor RGB.
Then do I want View/Proof Colors to remain checked (selected) or unchecked?

Now I really wish that it could be made a default to have View/Proof Colours switched on in CS3. In CS2 it did....but for CS3 you have to do it for each image....and when you are working heaps at a time...this is a very frustrating step to have to do each and every damn time!

OK, thanks everyone. I thought that's what was intended, but I figured I'd better make sure. :-)

"Photoshop always displays images through your monitor profile, which it picks up from the operating system. It performs an on-the-fly conversion on the data sent to the video card from the document's space (either the document's own embedded profile or the current working space) to your monitor space. This conversion is only for display. It doesn't affect the contents of the file." Real World Adobe Photoshop CS2, Bruce Fraser
Which means there's no need to use proof set-up with Monitor RGB or set the color space to Monitor RGB, unless;
"...you're working exclusively on Web graphics, and you need the RGB color in Photoshop to match the RGB color in non-color-managed applications like Dreamweaver. Using your monitor profile as the working space will ensure that RGB in Photoshop looks exactly the same as RGB in all your non-color-managed applications. Unfortunately, it will also ensure that RGB looks different on your machine than it does on everyone else's. (That's why Photoshop introduced the idea of an RGB working space in the first place.)" Real World Adobe Photoshop CS2, Bruce Fraser
Learn basics of color management (Not necessary to learn all the nuts and bolts of it), calibrate your monitor, configure Photoshop correctly, and everything will be just fine. |
