PREVIEW EXAMPLEJust learned about Camera RAW, DNG, and HDR 32-bit mode in CS2. I have a lot of photos I’ve already shot at different exposures, some in RAW mode, so I’ll have to test this out on my own pictures later. I remember you guys talking about this like a year ago so… It must be cool.
If anyone knows how to export from Photoshop CS2 in web mode, using ’save for web’ WITHOUT washing out all the colors, please advise. In Adobe it looks great, export for web, it looks like dog doo. Furthermore, ‘Save As…” then JPG takes way too long and only lets you export at ambiguous “Quality” levels, 1-12, not 0-100 like in Fireworks.
In fireworks for quality settings, I only ever really used 80, 95, 98 and 100. In photoshop, it’s easier, you just pick good better maximum and forget about it. When you click save for web and create a jpeg, they have a number box similar to fireworks where you can enter in your favorite number 1-100.
Yes, but here is my question. Even with messing with your “screen” settings in the Screen Setup page (I’ve tried Web North American and Adobe 1998), I still cannot resolve this issue.
An image in PS is more saturated and the colors are more pronounced, or deeper, if you will than Save For Web. Once you CMD-ALT-SHFT-S (Save For Web), the preview and export produce a significantly “washed out” image (it looks like it has a white color layer at about 20% opacity).
Conversely, by using the Save As… to JPEG, the color of the exported image is like the original image in PS, but you end up with a huge JPEG (for web standards, ie, 250k for a 600px wide image).
I never noticed this in Fireworks, but in PS it’s very obvious. I’ve Googled and there are people who grumble about this, but for the most part, it’s not a big deal to people who use PS professionally, as it is, indeed, a print application.
Anyway. Doesn’t matter. I really like the Adobe Web Export to Flash, Flash Gallery 3.
Are you going from 16-bit or 24-bit images down to 8-bit. Jpeg is always 8-bit. I have seen this on my end too. I think it’s related to having higher bit tiffs and downsampling into jpegs.
i think you’re shooting in AdobeRGB, which has wider color space than browsers can handle. before saving try following: Edit -> Convert to Profile - Destination space profile: sRGB
