Howdy!

This is sort of irrelevant, since I decided to bend to Photoshop's will and use fugly web colors, but I really would like to know if there's any way to solve this problem:

When doing a skin for a forum, I didn't use the web colors palette, and after I had sliced the whole thing up and went to export to web as a JPEG, it looked like that... horrifying, ugh. Thing is, when I do a Save As and save as a JPEG, it retains the original colors.

:confused:

Is this just something I can't change in PS/ImageReady, or can I somehow change the save for web color space it uses? I'd really like to use the original colors, steel just doesn't fly with aqua :rolleyes:

To make what you see in photoshop equal what you export for web change your Color Settings (Shift+CTRL+K). Your RGB field should be sRGB and you probably have Adobe or Apple RGB.

as you probably know you will never get consistent color over the internet, regardless of what RGB mode you use. For the record, the differences between Adobe RGB, Apple RGB and sRGB all lie within their gamuts - or, conversion to your output device, such as CMYK printing.

What you may want to try is using GIFs for some of your more color-crucial slices - then, you can tell it what colors use. Or, just up the quality setting of your JPGs.
