Im trying to finish up a photo that I would like to submit for one of the current challenges. I am pretty happy with the final results, but when I chose to save the photo for web, It loses its vibrance, and becomes very dull. I have never noticed this before when submitting a photo for a challenge. Is there anyway around this, or is it just a normal occurance? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Phil

Check out this tutorial and pay particular attention to Convert to sRGB space.

Thanks Judi! Im trying this right now, but for some reason I cant find "convert to profile" under IMAGE > MODE.

Shouldnt be any different on a mac, should it?

Ok, got it. I guess it was moved to the edit menu in cs2. Thanks again!

Even though you have the image in sRGB viewing it with some wierd proof colour setup and editing could be the issue.
