Just to answer some of the points made thus far … The large background image, which has been rendered too lightly, as well as the sign in button, the lock image, and the nav buttons, which render correctly (ie, more darkly) were all saved from the same file using the same settings.  And I

Hi, Would the screenshot being in .png cause a difference? In photoshop check your color setting in the save for web window, it could be a gamma issue there? Also confirm the flattened image does not have a color profile. Nice site, all things aside? On Jan 12, 2006, at 4:18 PM, Mani Sher
