When I make a picture it looks how I want it to but when I save it and open it up in my browser it looks WAY darker than when I was working on it! How can I stop Photoshop from doing this? Thanks

You might want to run the Adobe Gamma (go to your Control Panel and you should see it if you are on windows.) That usually fixes most monitor problems like this.

the hermit is correct. but it is not simple. be more specific. you save RGB or CMYK? in which format? what soft do you use to reopen?

Run the Adobe Gamma, most of the time when you have big differences between photoshop and your browser, you havent balanced your monitor settings between applications.

But you should definitely check to make sure you are not working in CMYK. If you are working for the web, use RGB. CMYK is for printing and since it uses a different color wheel, will change colors when you switch to RGB. Now if you save as in web format, it will convert it to RGB for you. (or indexed if a gif.)

Unless you are working in CMYK and then saving to RGB (which could be the problem), you should run the Adobe Gamma program so that you can optimise your monitor to work in Photoshop and stop seeing varying colors.

To change Color Modes:
image --> mode --> RGB (or CMYK, etc.)
