I just started using a new computer the past couple weeks. I've realized especially after submitting for the next challenge on DPC that my images are a lot brighter in Photoshop than they appear when uploaded to the site. I've also seen the same effects when looking at the images on other programs on my computer. Is there a way to fix photoshop to show the correct brightness and color balance, I've been searching through the program that everything I do doesn't seem to change anything. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

It seems strange that if it is affecting the levels on other programs that it would have anything to do with Photoshop. Are you sure your monitor/video settings are correct on the new machine that you're using?

But his monitor settings wouldn't effect why it looks different in PS and on the website.
Try this: First go to Control Panel and use the "Adobe Gamma" tool. If you don't have it, try downloading and installing it from adobe.com. Then run through the setup and when asked, select the "AdobeRGB1998" profile. Save your setup.
Then go to Control Panel again and select "Display Properties". Go to the "Settings" table, and click "Advanced". Then choose the "Color Management" tab. On this tab you can choose your default profile again. Highlight "AdobeRGB1998" and click "Set as Default". If the profile isn't there, click the "Add..." button to add it in. Then select and set it as the default.
Now go back into PS and see if that helps. It still may not be a perfect match in PS with how it'll look on the website but it's the closest I've been able to get it. If anyone knows a better method please post it.
Also, if you use "Save For Web..." in PS, you'll see exactly how it will look when uploaded to a website. So this way at least I can tell if the pic is going to look WAY different from PS and if so I can tweak it a little, etc., and then view it again until it's how I want it.
Good luck!

Thanks Chris
I changed the ICC and went through the adobe gamma tool, I think my screen setting were too bright also. So photoshop and the save for web feature look basically the same.

| I will have to try this. My problem is almost the same with the exception that it's bright in PS until I save and reload the file. Once the file has been saved it appears much darker and more saturated than it did before saving. |

| Try in PS,open image, view/proof setup/monitor RGB, notice that your image will get darker. Adjust from there. Save for web. Works for me. I won't do that if I'm printing, but for DPC it works great. |

depending on what version of photoshop you have, i use 6
the color settings for rgb can have a lot to do with the way your image looks on your screen
if you are not familiar with photoshop color management
I suggest you turn color management off
or use "emulate photoshop4 "which uses default settings
