Colour changes when saving images as JPEGS/PNGS in Photoshop CS6

When I save my .PSD files as .JPEGS the colour of the images change drastically.
I never experienced this issue in CS 5 or 5.5, and am only experiencing it now as I just switched over to CS6.

Wow … another one of those threads, it seems.
What are your Edit > Color Settings, do you embed the profile on saving, in which application do you observe the change, …?

  • RGB Colours change when saving for Web

    I'm saving work in RGB for Web, but the colours come out muted when saving through "Save for Web" also when saving as normal. Does anyone know why this happens? Normally this occurs through RGB to CMYK conversion, but can't figure out why it's happening, they look fine on screen before saving, but look all muted when saved.
    Cheers

    Two things: you could be working in Adobe RGB and saving directly to JPG, without converting to sRGB first. When the sRGB profile is assumed (Windows), or your narrow-gamut display profile is assumed (Mac), you get a color shift. So make sure you converting to sRGB as or before you save the JPG. Also, if you're on a Mac, then the display profile is assumed or assigned to images from the web. If you're using a laptop, the display gamut is much narrower than even sRGB, so you will see a color shift. The way around this is to use a browser capable of assigning sRGB to untagged images (like Firefox with color management enabled).
    You can always embed sRGB profiles in your images, which would be fine for portfolio pieces, but impractical for smaller images. Embedding a color profile will ensure that Safari displays the images correctly.

  • CS : Background color changes after saving image to jpeg,

    Hi,
    We have written a script for automatically saving the image to a JPEG format file. We are using VB.NET along with CS Script. To achieve that, we are doing the following:
    we are resizing the images and setting the mode to RGB and make it 8-Bit/channel. We are using some default background color like FFFFFF (255,255,255) and FF88FF (255,136,255). These gets changed to FEFEFE (254,254,254) and FF88FF (255,136,255) changes to
    'FE87FF'(254,135,255) dropping a point or so.
    If any one works on that kindly let me know what is the problem. How to prevent the changes of background color.
    Regards,
    Amitabh

  • Color changes when saving

    I have a PSD file that I've been working on. I've tried saving it as jpeg, png, and tiff, and every time it makes the colors more saturated and more red. I've tried opening it in Windows Photo Viewer, Firefox, and Chrome and the color is changed in all of them. Oddly enough however, if I open the photo on my iphone, in Windows Paint, or in Photoshop again, the colors remain unchanged.
    Color Profile is sRGB and I have it set to embed the profile.
    The proof setup is Working CMYK. I tried changing it to Monitor RGB and the picture looked the same.
    Any help is greatly appreciated because this is driving me insane.

    Thanks for the help twenty one and Noel but I think I need to be a little bit more clear on what it is I would like to accomplish. Basically I have a photo that displays two different ways: normal saturation and oversaturated. I would like it to always display at normal saturation, no matter what computer or what program it's being viewed with. Currently the only programs I've found that always display it correctly are Windows Paint and Internet explorer, neither of which are color managed. Is there any way to accomplish this or do I just have to accept the fact that it will always look different depending on what it's being viewed with?
    Information I think may be relevant to accomplishing this goal:
    The PSD always appears oversaturated in photoshop now whereas it used to look fine. I have no idea what I did to change this but I've tried doing a system restore and resetting my photoshop settings to default and it has had no effect.
    Under Color Settings, it shows the RGB working space as sRGB IEC61966-2.1. However the info panel shows the PSD as being untagged RGB. The image mode is RGB color.
    I've messed around with assigning new color profiles and nothing works. The only thing that makes photo look normal again is turning on proof and setting it to Monitor RGB.
    I tried saving two different jpeg files, one where I checked ICC Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in the save as dialogue box and one where I did not. Upon opening both files in photoshop, the file that had the sRGB box checked shows up as being sRGB in the info panel and the file that did not have the box checked shows up as untagged RGB in the info panel, as one would expect.
    Both the untagged RGB and the sRGB show up the way I want them to in Windows Paint and Internet Explorer (normal saturation), neither of which are color managed programs.
    Using Firefox (color managed), the untagged RGB shows up correctly and the sRGB file is oversaturated.
    Using photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer (color managed), both the tagged and the untagged photos are oversaturated.
    It should also be noted that the above results hold true on my computer and a second computer that I tested. However, on two other computers that I tested, both the tagged and the untagged photos appear correctly using Windows Photo Viewer, Paint, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Based off of what I've read about Color Management I find these results very peculiar. Particularly the fact that sRGB and untagged RGB files show up differently on Firefox but the same on Windows Photo Viewer since both programs are color managed. I also find it very odd that after years of using photoshop without any knowledge of color management I've never had a problem with it until now. 
    Again, I would like the photo to always look the way it does when using Paint or Internet Explorer or when saving it as an untagged RGB and viewing it on Firefox. Thanks again for any help you can provide because this is driving me insane.

  • I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

    I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when  the images have been manipulated through CS6 and  i have saved images as jpeg  the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
    but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

    Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
    There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
    Take your pick.

    I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

  • Image colour changes when opening in Adobe Flash

    Hi folks
    I'm a complete novice when it comes to Flash so I hope you can help me out. I've been trying to open a jpeg image in Actionscript 3.0 which opens without any issues however part of the lettering in the image appears to display as a different colour as if Flash doesn't recognise the colour in the image. The strange thing is that it opens in photoshop as the correct colour but not in Flash. Would the colour scheme that the image uses perhaps need to be added to Flash database of colours?
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Not to worry figured it out.
    When I open the image in photoshop the default Image Mode was set to CMYK Color. I changed this to RGB Colour, re-saved the image, exported it to Flash and it's the correct color.

  • Colour loss when saving PNGs.

    Hi there,
    I'm fairly new to photoshop and am having a few difficulties when saving a PNG.
    I'm using a Mac Book Pro.
    I'm using Photoshop CS6.
    The problem I'm encountering is when I save a PNG file I'm losing a lot of colour saturation. It goes from a vibrant red to a dull red colour.
    The workspace is RGB 8bit.
    I'm using the SAVE AS function because I don't want it for web I need it for print and I need the transparent background too.
    The only way I've managed to get the full colour is by using the save for web option and selecting PNG-24.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm using the SAVE AS function because I don't want it for web I need it for print and I need the transparent background too.
    Then I see no reason for using png but think you should use psd.
    The workspace is RGB 8bit.
    Workspaces are something completely different in Photoshop (and concern Panels, Menus etc,) and RGB is not a Color Space but a Color Mode.
    What is the image’s Color Space or if it isn’t embedded what is your RGB Working Space (Edit > Color Settings)?

  • Keeping changes when saving to jpeg.

    Working in raw, I have made changes to exposurre etc.  when I save to jpeg they go lighter.  I have looked in the colour settings which are set the same as the camera at sRGB but not sure if I a missing something.  I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6, wasn't a problem in CS4, I have looked at the settings in both to try to get them the same but nothing is working.

  • Photoshop CS4 "Freezes" when saving as a JPEG

    I have been using Photoshop CS4 with SnowLeopard and my MacPro for months now without a problem. I save multiple images everyday, often as JPEGs for the Web. But today, out of the blue with nothing changing (no new updates, or plugins), Photoshop "locks up" when saving a JPEG. I can still move the curser arrow, but everything is dead and the file did not save. I have to hit ESC just to get PS back online. I can save other file types, no problem.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any help or solutions? I have the latest version of PS CS4.
    (Note: If I go under Save for Web & Devices I can save it as a JPEG, but seems like an less than timely run-around)

    I have not experienced that problem, but with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, etc.) might also be beneficial.

  • Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

    I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
    When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
    I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks
