January 13, 2004: On East Broadway
I love East Broadway- especially down on the far east end. You can still stumble across these old brick shuls with the wonderful midcentury signs. Sadly, I've just switched to Photoshop 7 and I'm having some color profile issues- I corrected these photos, but I'm seeing something different when I save for web. That is, the pictures are coming up a little less saturated, and I'm not sure why.

Photoshop is embedding a color profile in the JPG. You need to turn this off.
Go to Edit : Color Setting : the set Settings to "Color Managment Off"
i see all three color management policies are set to off- and the RGB working space is set to Adobe RGB (1998). Any other ideas?
Adobe RGB (1998) probably refers to an old Photoshop default colorspace (PS 4.0?) that isn't useful anymore except when updating old files with an out of date default profile. Do you have another calibrated profile you can use? Or a choice to use Generic RGB?
Yeah I would try the Generic RGB profile.
You know if everyone used PNGs the world would be a better place
Other alternatives for previewing the output...
1. In Photoshop, choose View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB.
2. Make sure that View > Proof Colors is selected.
You can also use the options in "Proof Setup" to check what it is likely (depending on monitor set-up of course) to look like in standard Mac and Windows colour spaces.
To do the previewing in the Save for Web dialog:
Click on a version of the image, and choose Uncompensated Color from the Preview menu (the preview menu button is above the image previews at the right-hand side).
All without having to change your working colour profile and without having to embed profiles which will be ignored by lots of apps anyway.
Your pictures continue to remind me that I need to schedule a trip to NYC.
I love the colours to your latest pics. Thanks for bringing bit of NYC to me...here in Phoenix.

Jake,
Check out Photoshop CS and its native RAW support... it's really like shooting negative film and printing at the computer. Tons more control if you're not shooting RAW already.
