Hey all,

This picture of Ashley looks great in Photoshop, but when I convert it to jpg via the "Save for Web" her skin turns out too pink.

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Moon

More than likely it is a problem with the monitor not being calibrated. Looks a little pink here also.

Are you starting in sRGB and staying in sRGB or are you changing color spaces at some point?

If you have a CRT then try using the Adobe Gamma tool in the Control Panel (if it's there). If you have an LCD monitor, that may work there too, but the LCD monitors are problematic (depending upon the make and model they can either be easy or impossible form what I hear). The two that I have are virtually impractical to calibrate, but I do the best I can with the Adobe Gamma tool. The consensus among the experts is to use one of the colorimeters or a Spyder. I don't have either, so I can't say.
