color loss when exporting from photoshop
recently, i noticed that whenever i save a photoshop file into jpg, my images always suffer some color loss.. it looked a bit subdued compared to the original file that i worked on. i tried several combination of color profiles and proof views but nothing worked.
fortunately, after a few more tries i managed to come up with the solution. *beams* it seems that my export setting is not the same as the profile that i was using. to change your export setting,
1) click Save as For Web
2) there is an unlabeled arrow located at the upper left of your Save button.
3) click on it, and select Use Document Color Profile.
4) click Save, check your saved jpg, and voila! No color loss :)

hi! wow that was a brilliant discovery…=) have you also tried converting ur PSD file into a PDF format using Adobe Acrobat Professional? - this program also offers an option for you to convert ur pdf files into jpegs…
Hi, when saving for web or email, you should convert to sRGB anyway afterwards as long as your working or document color space is NOT sRGB (usually people uses Adobe RGB as working space). “Save for Web” will not do this for you.
