Save for web colors

[Yvan Daneault]

I work in RGB color mode and my colors come out totally diferent when I use the Save for Web Original pane. I understand that the optimized panes may look different from the document depending on the settings, but shouldn't the original be identical to the colors in the document?

Use sRGB.

I believe that "SFW" automatically defaults to sRGB regardless of the current color space. Even the original window. I'm not 100% sure though.

Keep in mind that the web doesn't see as many colors as print, so the SFW automatically deverts to websafe in a .gif

Try SWF as a .jpg, but I think you'll still see color distortion.

Use the little pop-up in the upper right corner of the preview boxes to set
it to display using the current document profile. It doesn't matter what you
use or what you set it to as long as you get the colors you like.

As for .gif going to web-safe it only does that from my experience when it
can and the color won't be changed so you aren't going to start with bright
red and end up rusty orange.
