The colors in my image look the way I want them to in Photoshop Elements 2.0, but after I upload the image to DPC and view it the colors look different! I compare the PS image and DPC image and there's a clear difference in the sky mostly, where it looks more yellowish I think.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to correct it? |

dunno if elements has a proof setup menu under 'view'. ps 7 does and you have to make sure you set your proof setup to 'monitor rgb' so that you see, in PS, what you're going to get on the web.

| I don't have that feature, but I remember seeing the same sort of feature for this. |

try to make sure you use sRGB of some kind with PSE II for your DPC pics. I usually use the image right out of the camera (is sRGB) or make sure you save that color profile if saving to disk. Then I go to the Save for Web under File. Get it to size and check what it looks like in my web browser (by way of the preview button). If the colors do not look right, but they usually do, I will cancel out of Save to Web and adjust it, and try again.
I only embed my pics with the Adobe color profile after I have finished all my editing and am archiving them.

| i shoot most of my photos in B&W, and they all appear in a slightly blue tint on DPC. Never really asked anyone if they appeared that way to them |

See this page Joanna.
As for why your images do that, yes, they are in the wrong color space. I think StevePax or DennisF showed us two examples recently of two color spaces.
---------
The other possible reason is that you may be displaying your photos in Photoshop using a color profile other than sRGB. Every device that can record or reproduce color (for example, scanners, screens, and printers) has a different range of colors that it can record or reproduce.
Since monitors almost always display a greater range of colors than printers, programs like Photoshop take the color reproduction characteristics of the ultimate output device into effect when displaying the photo on the screen. These reproduction characteristics are stored in a color profile, usually one that has the same name as the output device. If you tell Photoshop that you intend to print your photo on a printer, by selecting the printer's color profile, then Photoshop will show you how the photo will look after being printed. If you want Photoshop to display your photos as they will look on the web, then you need to select the sRGB profile, which tells Photoshop that the ultimate output device for your photo will be the screen.

Hope it helps.

Not totally sure, but most cameras output in sRGB, from my experience. Some puters (my Mac) I am able to modify how it imports the color space of certain devices. I do not use this because right out of the camera mine is in sRGB
Try this. download a shot off the camera to your hard disk. Open it in PSE II. then hit Save As right away. It will have the checkbox for the "imbed this color profile." What color profile is it? That will tell you what profile comes out of the camera.

Dacrazyrn, I tried using the "Save for Web" thing in PS but it barely makes a difference... The image looks slightly better when viewed in the browser, but still doesn't look like the original in PS.
Is this because I need to use the utility from Adobe that Mavrik posted? My Fuji S602 seems to embed "sRBG ..." as the profile in the pictures it takes, so will using this utility prevent the problem? |

worth a shot...I have Mac so am unable to check it out.
Like I said...I will cancel out of the save for web and adjust the color a touch (after I save the original/prepped shot) until it looks like I want it to in the browser.

I am having this very same problem with Photoshop 7. I made sure I had sRGB selected but I still don't see the picture correctly. This started happening after I went out for the weekend and left my pc on hands of one of my teenager sons.
Here is an example of what I am seeing (print screen edited in Fireworks to be able to see the difference). It is the very same picture right out from the camera (no mods), one is viewed in Photoshop and the other is set on my desktop.
Any down to earth explanation?

Dear Cecilia,
in Photoshop 7, with the photo open, try to set View-->Proof-Setup-->Monitor RGB. If the photo turns out with colors like those you get on desktop, then you have to correct your color profile in PS7.
press Shift-CRTL-K and in working space set the SRGB-IEC61966-2.1 profile, that is suitable for web display.
Then, in color management policies set the value for RGB to Convert to working RGB.
This should fix the problem (even if you may find that colors no more match printed output...)
Hope this may help,
