| I've made a nice contrasty complementary colors picture, just loaded the RAW file into PS (no RAW adjustments), and then applied a hue/sat layer and a selective color layer. Now, when saving for web, the colors fade and the impact of the picture as well. Help! How can I get the colors I want to stay when saving for web? When working with proof colors tacked, I can't seem to get the results as bright as I want them. |

One way :
while converting from RAW to jpeg, use sRGB profile and then you will not lose colors when saving for web.

"save for web" discards your color profile.
I crop my image to DPC size, then convert my colorspace to sRGB, then "save as" instead of "save for web" I use the quality slider in the "save as" feature to get under 150k.

what version of PS are you using?
when you save for web there is an button for options. click on "use document color profile" or some versions say save in adobe color format (something like that). Had that problem for a while. Just a slight change can ruin the whole photo! |

This is a good point, Spydr, since images saved using Save for Web usually come out much lighter than if you just save them the way you described. But you can actually save higher quality images at 150K if you use Save for Web by just darkening your image a little before saving. This saves the space that would be taken up by the color profile and the custom image thumbnail.

This is true.
If you like this method, go to View>Proof setup>Windows RGB to see the color and adjust prior to Save for Web.
