So I've used Photoshop for years (amateurishly) - and I've always had this problem.
Well, it finally got on my nerves.... everytime I try to save a file, (using either Save for web or Save as..) and saving either jpgs, gifs, bmps, whatever.
It saves pictures DARKER than what they really are!! They look extremely different than what I was working on originally.
Let me give yall an example:
I saved this image in photoshop, then re-opened it to add Virakar in yellow (yes, I play WoW on Sargeras). I noticed that when I open the image in Photoshop, it's not as dark as when I open it using ACDSee or IE/Firefox.
So I took a screenshot of the image opened in Photoshop (Virakar) and the image opened in ACDSee (the one below it, without Virakar) and saved it using Photoshop, hence, making it even darker still.
So, to make sure that Photoshop was the problem, I took a screenshot of the exact same file above, but this time, I pasted it into MS Paint and saved it as a jpg.
Result: a much brighter, clearer, image... this is what I was shooting for....
Can someone help? Please?
