Ever wonder why an image that you put on the web looks a bit dull and muted compared to what you saw when you were editing it? Well....
I always thought that that was just the way things go. But my eyes were recently opened by a terrific article in the April/May issue of Photoshop User magazine. Pick it up and check out the Photoshop Speed Clinic article by Matt Kloskowski on page 58. A great explanation regarding color space (most of us work in Adobe RGB but the web displays things in sRGB) and a step-by-step (with tips to make it a recordable action).
It also mentions a previewing tool that, in my humble opinion, works as a speedy cheat if you are in a hurry. Once you have appropriately reduced your image for the web, just go under the File menu and choose "Save for Web & Devices...". Your image should pop up under the "optimised" tab and voila! Just save it that way. Probably be a good idea to rename it, too.
This beautiful bride was subjected to the same treatment, after a polarizing filter, light vignette, and some sharpening of the eyes.
Check out the Photoshop User. I thought this issue had more good tips and tricks than usual.
