JPEG exports look washed out or desaturated!
I have no idea why, but upon first viewing of my photoshop cs4 exported jpegs, they look fine with beautiful vibrant colors, but after I email them or post them on websites they become faded, washed out, desaturated, whatever you want to call it. Does anyone know why? How do you guys get around this? Thanks, here's a link to a few examples: https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … up_id=&ua= https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid … up_id=&ua= https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid … up_id=&ua= Aug 19 09 06:34 pm Link Did you change the color space to SRGB?

I only see the Adobe 1998 option on the save as screen in CS4.

Then under the file menu "Save for Web and Devices" . In that dialogue box check "Convert to sRGB and save. Aug 19 09 06:45 pm Link The CS4 workflow is the same as stated above for CS2. Better yet, try using Lightroom 2 as your front end to CS4 and you'll save lots of time. It's many capabilities are superb and extraordinarily easy for batch exporting of images. And, as stated, be sure you are in sRGB color space for your web images. Aug 19 09 06:47 pm Link Good news is that it worked, bad news is that I have to convert and re-export ALL of my photos. Guess I'll be up all night, batching and resending people proper jpegs! Here's the newly exported sRGB pic: https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … up_id=&ua= Thanks!

Other RGBs are the typical profiles you should be editing your images in (I use Adobe RGB though I've seen some people use Colourmatch RGB), so make one of those as your Workspace. To do this go to Edit > Colour Settings and you can adjust the types of profiles you want in your working space. Some printers will ask for CMYK but you can set those to your preference as well.

.. Not to take over the thread or anything but you only have to change to "SRGB" when posting a picture on the internet right? not for printing or anything?
