Seeking advice on the following problem with jpg conversions from psd and tif image files:
Converting a Photoshop or Tif image to a jpg using Save For Web in PSCS the image acquires a heavy magenta tone, especially when red is an important hue in the composition.
Converting first to sRGB and then Save As JPG usually works without adding the magenta tone but not always.
Have done extensive comparative workflows (see some of this on <http://www.jldtifft.com/RecentAdditions/RGBTests>
Seems the most effective fix that I have found is in Channel Mixer, pressing hard on green in each channel with concurrent + and – adjustments in the other hues as well. But it’s a trial-and-error process with every single image which is crazy-making.
My monitor (Viewsonic LCD) is calibrated w/PhotoCal Spyder. My OS is Windows XP professional. I’ve been using Photoshop & upgrading regularly for about 5 years. This issue came up as I’m developing a portfolio web site of stock photos. What happens to a gorgeous .psd by the time it hits the Web site is really disgusting!
Can anyone explain why this happens? And what is a reliable fix? Many thanks!
Yes I’m going to re-install PSCS next.
