Hi,
Can anyone tell me why my images lose saturation and contrast when I upload them to the web (e.g. for challenge submissions on this site)? My original file is a RAW from a Nikon camera. When I save it as a jpeg and view it in PS it retains all the original saturation and contrast (or at least to the naked eye). But when I upload this same jpeg to the site - or I discovered later - view it in Image Ready, it has lost saturation and contrast. Can anyone explain why this is and what I can do to retain the integrity of the original image?
Thanks so much.

What colourspace are you using? For Web, it should be sRGB.
Convert to sRGB before doing save for web. Save for web does not do it automatically. |

| Preview your image with View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB to see what it will look like on the web. |

| thanks for your help, guys. That was the problem. I am used to saving my files for print, so this was new to me. Always something new to learn! Amazing... |

| Should make this issue a sticky post at the top of this (or one of) the forums. It gets asked quite often. |

Or just suggest people use the search function before posting a question.

| So what is the difference between sRGB and RGB? I've also had this problem and tried to look for a solution but couldn't find it. |

The main difference is the range of tones available. Adobe RGB has a broader range. However, for web, the range must be compressed. If the colours aren't converted then the numbers are interpreted as sRGB therefore changing how the picture looks.
That's it in a nutshell. If you want to learn more just google 'Color Management'. |

| So I checked this tutorial... This seems to be written for Photoshop 7, how do I check the sRGB space with CS2? |
