Alright, maybe you folks can provide some clarity. I did some reading on this and the issue was pretty much this: http://forums.dprevi.../thread/2108952
Except of course my files are saved as PNG.
So my question: what color profile settings are you guys working on in photoshop? (Edit > Convert to Profile > Source Space)
I'm using CS6 and the Source Space was set to U.S Web Coated (SWAP) v2. Destination Space = Working CMYK.
Now, I'm not sure if it fixes the issue, but I changed the Destination space to Working RGB - sRGB. Tiny change, nothing drastic.
But it's bugging me that when working on photoshop, the colors are "just right" especially when working with darker colors. But when I save it as PNG and viewing it in Image Viewer Mode on the same PC, (or via the web, uploaded to photobucket) the colors are way too intense. The darker colors are basically pitch black and too saturated, which I did not intend / view while working on photoshop. It makes me wonder how other people are seeing signatures, images, wallpapers, etc on their end.
Anyone having this same problem too? It's really frustrating. All I want is to view the images / colors the same way for both photoshop and image viewer / web. Otherwise it's a bit difficult trying to work on photoshop and wondering if what you're doing with colors and lighting is "too much" or "too little". Especially when working on this new PC and new monitor, there's too big of a difference for me to just ignore. On my laptop, the issue exist too but at least it wasn't that huge of a difference when viewing things on photoshop vs viewing on image viewer / web.
