Photoshop is managing colours and your browser isn't.

In Photoshop 7, the "save for web" function offers an accurate preview.

I've been this route before... aargh.

I have an image that looks the way I wish in Photoshop.  When I save it as a 
.jpg and view it in a browser, the colors are slightly washed out.  
Specifically. it looks less red.  I see this when I open the .jpg as a file 
in the browser and when I view a photo.net page of it.

The color space of the image is sRGB and I'm not monkeying with it in any 
way.  The .jpg version looks correct when I open it in PS/CS2 and matches 
the .PSD version.  It's only when I open the .jpg in a browser that it 
appears different.

Could it be a function of the background area on the screen being gray in 
CS2 whereas it's white in the browser?  Well, I just set the background 
color in the browser to gray and it did not appear to make a difference.

I'm starting to wonder whether there is a color difference or it's an 
optical illusion. Maybe I'm just melting down earlier than usual on a Friday 
afternoon.

Thanks for any help.

Tom C.
