| My challange entry is vibrant (prolly spelled that wrong) when I "save for web" it becomes dull and lifeless. What am I doing wrong? |

| JPG is lossy compression. Check when you are saving that the quality is not falling too low. It is represented as a number out of 100, 100 being best quality. If it's falling into the 50s then the saved for web output will be fairly poor compared to your original. |

More likely than not you're not converting from Adobe RGB to sRGB.

I don't remember if "Save for Web" performs the following operation but you should try this at least once and see if it makes a difference.
Cameras often come set for Adobe RGB colorspace but the web operates in sRGB colorspace. This difference causes some images to be washed out. Before saving for the web try converting your image to sRGB. In Photoshop 7 (and perhaps CS) you would go to the Image menu and look for Mode > Convert Profile or something along those lines. In PS CS2 you now need to look under the Edit menu for Convert to Profile. Once you've selected the Convert option a window will appear with a selection for the profile you want to convert to and you should just select sRGB.
For all I know "Save for Web" may perform this; I just don't remember. This step makes a noticeable difference.

| In CS2 you can check 'proff colours' in the menu, and set the proof colour space to sRGB for prepping DPC images: this'll show you what your JPEG will look like, without actually taking your image into that colour space. Useful if you're likely to keep those images for later use, and just do the re-size and USM for here. |
