Color proof correction in Photoshop

Saturday, June 27th, 2009 by Stuart Bowness Design Photoshop

Have you ever had the problem where you go to save a file for the web in photoshop and the preview doesn’t look the same as the original window? Well here are 5 simple steps to fixing the “Save for web & devices” issue:

  1. View > Proof Setup > Macintosh RGB, or if you work on a PC and a Mac then Monitor RGB would be preferable (screenshot)
  2. View > Proof Colours (Checked)
  3. Edit > Color Settings > Set the Working Spaces to SRGB IEC61966-2.1 (screenshot)
  4. Edit > Color Settings > Turn off Color Management Policies
  5. File > Save for Web & Devices > Click the little button next to Preset > Convert to sRGB (screenshot)
