:-/ psd to jpeg

hey sorry but im new,
when i save the file from psd format to jpeg or gif i lose all sorts of color :( is there a way to fix it? i have it set to the highest quality and all and it still brightens up and loses a bit of color
help!

hi and welcome

just out of curiosity what are your jpeg format options set to?
I think it should be base line optimized.

quality 100
blur 0
no matte

im gonna upload it to the web and look at it from a diff computer to see if its something to do with my gamma settings on this one

edit: ok my bad it was my gamma settings i had set in adobe gamma thingy, looks fine on the other puter :

well being as how jpeg is COMPRESSING it, i do see how your image would loose quality



Subject: [1] What is JPEG?

JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized image compression mechanism.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the original name of the
committee that wrote the standard.

JPEG is designed for compressing either full-color or gray-scale images
of natural, real-world scenes. It works well on photographs, naturalistic
artwork, and similar material; not so well on lettering, simple cartoons,
or line drawings. JPEG handles only still images, but there is a related
standard called MPEG for motion pictures.

JPEG is "lossy," meaning that the decompressed image isn't quite the same as
the one you started with. (There are lossless image compression algorithms,
but JPEG achieves much greater compression than is possible with lossless
methods.) JPEG is designed to exploit known limitations of the human eye,
notably the fact that small color changes are perceived less accurately than
small changes in brightness. Thus, JPEG is intended for compressing images
that will be looked at by humans. If you plan to machine-analyze your
images, the small errors introduced by JPEG may be a problem for you, even
if they are invisible to the eye.

A useful property of JPEG is that the degree of lossiness can be varied by
adjusting compression parameters. This means that the image maker can trade
off file size against output image quality. You can make *extremely* small
files if you don't mind poor quality; this is useful for applications such
as indexing image archives. Conversely, if you aren't happy with the output
quality at the default compression setting, you can jack up the quality
until you are satisfied, and accept lesser compression.

Another important aspect of JPEG is that decoders can trade off decoding
speed against image quality, by using fast but inaccurate approximations to
the required calculations. Some viewers obtain remarkable speedups in this
way. (Encoders can also trade accuracy for speed, but there's usually less
reason to make such a sacrifice when writing a file.)

zyconium why offer help to a problem that has no solution?

a JPEG is compressed and that is why it doesnt look like the ORIGINAL.

i know im an a.sshole. but is tough love and im always right.
i do it for the kids

also PS fakes mac and PC monitor settings to the best of your monitor's ability. under View.

d9, he was talking about the images losing color, which does not have anything to do with saving it as a JPEG. I guess you aren't always right after all.

images loose colour because of compression. come one sweetie, im not here to prove you wrong, i have facts as my blanket.

"When i save the file from psd format to jpeg or gif i lose all sorts of color"
he was talking about what i was talking about, yer just trying to be cute.

Thanks for giving me a reason to ban you, d9, that's just one too many smart ass comments for me and everyone else to deal with.

Ahhh, good, before this thread is locked I must write something.

How can a person go through life with such arrogance? I'm a bit arrogant at times, but c'mon. It actually baffles me that this person thinks they are so amazing. The question could be about wiping your *blush* and he would still have to slip in some "big ticket" client he has. Must be trying to make up for a small...mind.

At 25, you are not the king of the world bud. Sheesh.
