I have save lots (1000’s) of pictures for the web by using the "save for web" feature. Lately I will adjust the image and than when I use the "save for web" command the image becomes much darker. This has never happened before. I end up having to lighten the image 30-50 using the screen adjustment feature and than "save for web".

Also, if your images are not sRGB before you save for web, you might try to convert first.

Most likely you’re in proof setup mode. You get there by hitting ctrl+y by mistake.

****************************************
When you click on File > Save for Web you may notice a change in the color balance of the image, often to a darker version. The reason is that the Preview Menu default in the Save for Web option is set to Uncompensated Color.
Here’s how to eliminate that color shift:
In Save for Web, click on the Preview Menu pointer at the top right of the picture frame. There is probably a check mark alongside the Uncompensated Color option. Choose instead Use Document Color Profile, and the pre-Save for Web color balance will return. (You may also select Standard Windows Color or Standard Macintosh Color to get a general idea of how the image may look on another platform.)
Note that this change to Use Document Color Profile must be made in the Original and Optimized views, and for each frame in the 2-up and 4-up views. The new settings will remain in effect during future use of the Save for Web option.

Good luck.
