Re: editing in grayscale/output profiles in grayscale


In a message dated 8/13/05 5:14:54 PM, email@hidden writes:


The problem: we are editing TIFF masters in grayscale and then producing
derivative JPEGs for viewing on the web. We have no prior experience editing
and outputting grayscale images. We have experimented with various settings
and find that typically the derivative image looks fine in photoshop but
quite a bit darker on the web. So far the only way we have been able to get
the web derivative to look the same on the web as it does in photoshop is to
convert the file back to RGB, and assign the sRGB profile. Please tell us
there is a better way.


Any method that will apply a gamma 2.2 or equivalent density to your files will look "right" on a Windows browser. Any method that involves applying an ICC profile to the image will look right on most Mac browsers, if color management is turned on in them.
