HELP D8

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 22, 2007, 7:08 PM
  • Mood: Irritated
  • Listening to: Interpol - Take You on a Cruise
  • Watching: PHOTOSHOP BE DUMB


UPDATE: IT'S FIXED NOW YAYAY!! <3 Thanks all so much.

Ok, Photoshop is doin' something really lame. And I'm sure it's my fault. I fudge with the color profile of my monitor this weekend trying to get a dual screen system to work, but ended up not keeping it, and put all my settings back to normal (or so I thought).

I've been working in Photoshop and kinda noticed my color palette was a bit duller than usual, but I sorda brushed it off and chocked it up to my eyes being funny (HAH). But it turns out I WAS RIGHT. When I save for web, it picks up its usual perky and bright colors. Except since I was trying to make up for the dullness in the first place, it's even more gay and rainbowtastic than I intended (which is not always bad).

SEE!



STILL, I'd kinda like to be able to see the colors I put down be the colors that people will be seeing in the end.

Someone please help me, I am a color profile retard. 8 ^8 What do I need to do??

omg I had the same problem with Photoshop >< I found out it was because I had a bootlegged Windows so the graphics card wouldn't get updates. So picture quality went slowly downhill. ;_; All is well now in the hundred acre wood XD

I used to have this problem when I used a macintosh. It would randomly convert itself to CYMK color for no reason, even though it was still in RBG mode.

To cure it, I took (multiple) screenshots of parts of the image in the size I wanted to save for web use and pieced them together. Screenshots on a mac were doing something that was ';preserving' true color, and I saved them as super high quality jpegs (not the jpeg mode for web).

When I wanted the reverse of this, I'd screenshot the image that didn't have a color problem and use the 'save for web' function and it would give me the exact color pallate I was working with in the program.

I'm not sure if it works for all computers or PC screenshots, but its worth a try :p

Dunno if you've solved this problem yet, but try gingo to Photoshop->Edit->Color Settings->Turn Color Management Off.

Hope that helps, and good luck! :3
