This took me forever to figure out so I will share it with Threadless in hopes you keep sane when saving

Are you using photoshop and when you save for web your colors change drastically?

(the original is the washed out save for web version, boosting my green by 36 brought the colors back to what they should look like in photoshop)


. Typically the problem comes from your web browser, photoshop uses color profiles but web browsers have no color management whatsoever.
when you save your photo through the "save for web option" at the top right corner just to the left of save you will see 2 arrows }}
click that and switch between windows or mac colors (what you worked the photo in) and uncompensated colors (what your browser will display)

What you will need to do is: if it washes out your greens go back to
Image-
Adjustments-
Color Balance-

- now boost your green or whatever color more than they should be. Go to save for web and make sure you are looking at it under uncompensated color, now if you shrink the save for web window and move it next to the original on your photoshop clipboard you will see the difference.

just understand switching between windows/mac and uncompensated isnt changing your colors, its only showing you what will happen when viewed through web or desktop

So if you are sending photos to be printed or to a friend do not boost your colors, they will show up very saturated.
