RGB... this is all for online use, so CMYK doesn't, (shouldn't), figure into this...
...I think.
I installed Fireworks and opened the file in there and the colours were also mental. I have a feeling it's the colour settings within Photoshop... but I have no idea how I'm going to fix this...

are you constructing the pic.... with the
"show only web colors" selected in the color wheel?
that is the best way to go and there should be no color shift.
since only 256 colors are used on the web and RGB consists of millions, that is where you are getting your shift when you save for web. |

Actually, I just figured out the problem.
In Image Ready, there should be an option to save the image with "photoshop compensation" that fixes the colour difference just dandy.
thank again, guys.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to know if anyone knew how to fix the problem in Photoshop where your image file is this beautiful saturated colour - say a nice blue - and when you chunk it through Image Ready, (I'm acutally using the "save for web..." option), it turns to a purple and quite washed out? Does anyone else have this problem too?
Its not a gif thing, b/c when you view the image in the four-frame preview option, the "original" window displays the same colour anomolies.
*sigh* the only thing I can think of is the in-PS colour "correction"
