Thanks for the feedback... After some further research, I've discovered some other issues:
yes, the photoshop color settings were wrong on all my machines, they were set for print production and not for web and after changing those settings things did improve some. The problem of metering a jpeg in photoshop vs. metering in a browser virtually went away. BTW, I think this has nothing to do with web-safe, web-safe is an old concept that came from the 8-bit color era, now with 16 and 24 bit color, the concept of web safe has been essentially deprecated. The main problem I have discovered is that the Photoshop PSD color space and the jpeg color space are different. So the major problem occurs when you save a photoshop file or section for web as jpeg. A major color shift happens regardless of color profile settings/ calibration, etc. For some reason, this is not true of PNG files which maybe have the same color space as Photoshop files or has color correction built into the file format? Anyway, clients tend to give me layered photoshop and illustrator files and I need to spit out web graphics. So I guess one solution is to force the client to spit out their own jpegs and color correct them before they give them to me. This can be a hassle too though since sometimes I need to remove copy and overlapping elements and put them back as separate elements, which is easier with a layered file. ~BL On Aug 26, 2007, at 7:00 PM, Rafael wrote: > If I recall correctly, this is an old issue, and the reason why > there were "web-safe colors".
