PS CS2
col space adobe RGB(1998)
on a PC with XP

the images look great in PS on a calibrated monitor. But when they are uploaded and viewed in a browser (e.g. IE which isnt a col managed program) they look darker and duller.

what steps can I take to compensate and have them appear on the web as they look in PS

thanks

Common problem.

Convert them to sRGB before posting to the Web.

That’s it ?
Just convert to sRGB ?
Or do I still have to do something (levels, curves or whatever) to prevent the dullness and darkening ?

That’s it. You have to use ‘Convert to Profile’ though. That way the image doesn’t change at all. Apparently you are using ‘Assign Profile’, but that’s the wrong choice.

Well I did that, and unfortunately when I look at the jpegs on the website with IE they still look darker & duller than they look in photoshop.

Because I had many images, I used the Image Processor (in Scripts) to batch convert them to jpegs, and there is a check box to convert to sRGB and also at the bottom to embed the profile.

Usually there is always a slight (!) difference in colors between applications supporting color mangement (as PS) and those not supporting cm (like IE).
When the difference is too big there might be a problem with your monitor calibration or monitor profile.
