color fading when using "save for the web" feature

I've been using PS7 on my Mac OX 10.2.8 for some time now and it's worked well. The images I work on in PS7 look bright and true but now, all of a sudden, when I choose the "save for the web" feature, the image appears washed out. And continues to look washed out when I place in my pbase gallery. This is a new event.

The only thing I've done recently was tweak with some Adjustment levels using Scott Kelby's "The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers." Everything looks great on my screen until I now use that one feature (which never affected the color saturation before.) I would think that doing any number tweaking would affect the image all the way throughout PS, not just when I use this one feature.

Can someone offer some places and numbers to look for that might be affecting how my images appear on line? Maybe I should go back to all the defaults??
Thanks.

I wish I had a solution, though I've got the same problem and it just started last week. I'm running PS7 on OSX. With one file, I was able to correct the problem by converting the file's ICC profile to the working space. However, on the latest files I'm working with that fix hasn't worked, and the designer that put the pages together is starting to get a little frantic.

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

I have been having the same problem for the last week with photoshop but have actually solved it for sure!!!

The answer is simple:

Go to Edit - Color Settings

Under the RGB BOX - Select - monitor RGB - Colormatch RGB

Do this and all your problems are solved!!!!

Hope this is of help!!!!

This looks good so far; I knew it had to be some funky combination of color settings.

Thanks for the reply!

Please help-I have the same problem, am using Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and it was under the Photoshop menu, not the Edit menu--

I can only choose either Monitor RGB Imac, OR Colormatch RGB--which one, if you know offhand?
Thanks for your help!

Hey Bob,

If memory serves me, when you select Monitor RGB the select menu changes to include 'ColorMatch RGB'.

This has indeed fixed the issues for all my files...

Hope that helps.

Thanks for replying--I chose the Monitor RGB, as it still only allows me to make one choice-

Thanks for your help!
