Why is that after I save an image in Photoshop and look at it in a different program on my computer the colors look different.  However, when I pull the saved image back into Photoshop the colors look fine again.? Do I have a separate ICC file that I'm using for Photoshop somehow? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

| When you save in Photoshop, are you saving using the sRGB color profile? |

Windows are Mac? Each does color management a little different.

- The ICC Profile: Adobe RGB (1998) option is checked. I don't see anything for sRGB
- Window XP

| Before you do any editing for DPC, go to the View menu and change your Proof Setup to Monitor RGB. When you're done editing, use Save for Web. Now the colors will match. |

| monitor rgb proofing is not the best advice. search the forums. this has been discussed ver recently. |

Okay, one other question. Which do I use to see how the printed version will look?
Thanks!

| don't worry about printing and color management. that stuff is too complicated. once you're happy with how it looks on your monitor, send it to the printer. easy peasy! |

Provided you have a good profile for the printer you will be printing from you would want to soft proof then if it looks acceptable convert, save, then print. |

Trick question. Most of my work is for commercial offset printing, so I have my color settings configured for U.S. Prepress Defaults. For that type of work, Proof Setup > Working CMYK (the default) would give a pretty accurate preview. However- if you send an RGB JPEG file for output at DPCPrints, Shutterfly, PhotoAccess, etc., then you're not dealing with CMYK pigments (the print is essentially exposed onto photo paper with a fancy projector). In that case, Monitor RGB might be more accurate. If you want to be sure, order a test print and see how it compares to your monitor at different settings. Then there will be no doubt. ;-) |
