This was super helpful. Honestly, I didn't know about this Color Management setting on Photoshop. I'll have to take a good look.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again,<BR/>AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326111001085784932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1113438820549282142005-04-13T17:33:00.000-07:002005-04-13T17:33:00.000-07:00Sounds like you need to set your Photoshop color m...Sounds like you need to set your Photoshop color management - Under Color Settings set your RGB working space on sRGB and your gray gamma on 2.2. These settings should give you WYSIWYG color when the image is in a browser.<BR/><BR/>Also, if Photoshop Elements has a "Save For Web" command, use it. It has a preview menu that let's you see what the image will look like in windows, mac or uncompensated color. The preview menu is a small triangular arrow above the image preview to the right.<BR/><BR/>Also "Save for Web" does an awesome job of optimizing jpgs, making them very small without comprimising much quality, very important for those free Flickr upload limits.<BR/><BR/>Paul<BR/>kiplog.com/foodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1113418866216835832005-04-13T12:01:00.000-07:002005-04-13T12:01:00.000-07:00You might want to check the images in a program, o...You might want to check the images in a program, other than Photoshop, before you upload them to flickr. Just drag your Photoshop jpgs to your browser or open them in the Apple Preview application. If you find that your images look fine in those other applications, then it might be your Photoshop color settings (Photoshop menu > color settings). In which case you might want to adjust your color management settings to accurately reflect how you are working with your photos. Depending on how anal you are about your photography, it would be wise to calibrate your monitor as well. If you find that your photos look great in other applications, your should create a calibrated profile for your monitor. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Here is a link, which may help you out.<BR/><BR/>http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshopcolormanagement/<BR/><BR/>Also, check in the Photoshop help menu: Photoshop help > “working with color” & “producing consistent color”<BR/><BR/>If you don’t haven’t calibrated profile for your monitor you can do so pretty easily here: system preferences > displays > color > calibrateBBQ Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276940699892922612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1113402732144479082005-04-13T07:32:00.000-07:002005-04-13T07:32:00.000-07:00Hi Alice!It might be that your monitor is not opti...Hi Alice!<BR/>It might be that your monitor is not optimized for photos so those web-based programs aren't showing you the actual photo. What you may want to try doing is printing a copy (or having one printed through an online suervice like Shutterfly - they give you 15 free photos when you first signup with them...) and then compare it to what you see on your screen. <BR/><BR/>If the printed photo looks like you expected but does not match up to your screen then there's nothing wrong with the photo but you should try to optimize your monitor so what you see is representative of the actual file. <BR/><BR/>I don't use Photoshop but I suspect that it may have some correction built in since it's primary purpose is photo editing and that would explain the difference you see when viewing a photo within the program. <BR/><BR/>Instructions for optimizing your monitor should be in your monitor manual or Photoshop may even have a section in it's manual. I primarily use Digital Image Suite and it has a whole chapter on Optimizing. <BR/><BR/>I recently started using Flickr and have been happy so far but maybe I just have not yet uploaded on a bad day. :-) <BR/><BR/>~ BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
