When I'm in Photoshop, all my things look a certain way, when when I save a file, the colors are different. I'd imagine this may have something to do with a color profile, but I'm not sure.

Anyone have a solution? I've just saved pictures I'm working on for work, and with the colors being off they don't look right.

You're talking about like

If you save a blue

then look at it on a webpage/image viewer

It's another shade?

 

[Ecrofirt]

That's what I'm talking about.

While I'm doing the photo editing, the thing is one shade. If I save/try to save/do anything with the picture, it changes the shade.

 

[Drensch]

Make sure you aren't changing image modes when you save.

4-up is like super compression yo.

 

[demi]

Um, isn't 4-up just a way to see different variations of saved images?

Ecro: click the arrow in the top right, does it say "uncompensated color"?

 

[Ecrofirt]

demi: Yes.

I don't know what's causing these colors to change. They look great while I'm photoshopping, but as soon as I save them, or even try to save them, they go bad. And sp0rsk, that shot from the 4 up screen was on the "Original" image. That's the one without any compression going on.

 

[demi]

Send me the PSD

 

[Desperado]

mine does the same thing

I get that problem when I install my Monitors Drivers. So I simply don't install them as the monitor works perfect without. I don't know if that piece of information would help.

Due to its simplicity that image should be saved as a gif.
When you are saving it as a gif it will have a list of options and popups asking you a manner of things such as what diffusion % you want, how many colours you want displayed etc.
If you have a fiddle with those options and look at your image you will see how it will actually look like when it's saved.

Eh.. I mean like, the image displayed while you are changing the options will be the same as what it will be like once saved.

If you already know all this and it still doesn't fix the problem then I really don't know what to suggest.

I've tried saving it many many different ways. It's the same every time. It's some weird issue. Going on what demi asked before about the unchanged color, I tried looking at it with the different color options. Using "Standard Windows Color" made the image appear the same color in the 4 up window, but upon saving it went back to normal.

It's doing it every time I save, with every picture I photoshop.

I just opened that .psd you hosted and it is showing up as the "bad" version. :/
This must mean that for some reason images look different in your Photoshop and when you save them they look "bad".
Can you reinstall the PS?

This is like the third thread that I swear I've read before on here, like post for post.


For what it's worth, you're gonna get it resolved....according to my past/future memories.

It could be your Adobe Gamma setting is different than your regular video settings. Try this:

I ran into this problem as well, i fixed it by removing my monitors color management and just leaving it blank by not using any of adobe or my monitors default settings. I'm assuming you're using windows but right click on your desktop, go to properties, settings, then click on the advanced tab, somewhere under there will be a color management tab or something along those lines (depending on your video card) and take a look at what your default monitor profile is. When i open up your .psd i get the color you're intending it to be so maybe that'll help.
