If you guys could help me understand how color (profiles perhaps?) work in Photoshop, that would be great.

What I know is this:

If I render my Image in Maya, then view it in F-Check or with the standard Windows viewer, the colors look a certain way.

When I take it into Photoshop, the colors appear darker and more saturated. Usually this doesn't bother me, because the way it looks in Photoshop seems to match the way it looks on a TV screen or print better than the normal way.

But I'm trying to put some of these images on the web, and of course when I "save for web" or display in the browser, the colors go back to the "normal" way. I tried upping saturation, brightness, contarst, but couldn't get it right.

How can I output a JPEG for the web that will look the same as it looks on screen in Photoshop?

Thanks!

you need to set your working space to sRGB in your Photoshop colour preferences. It sounds as if you have it set to Adobe RGB.
