How to set up Photoshop for Web

  • View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB
  • Edit > Color Settings (or shift-cmd-K)
    • Change RGB working space to Monitor RGB - Color LCD
    • Set color management to off for RGB

Anything else? Anything different in CS3 beta? Anybody with differing opinions?

Update 2007-12-01: Just for the record, here’s the extra thing you have to do for CS3:

Convert to sRGB

Un-check the option to Convert to sRGB in the Save for Web & Devices dialog.

In CS3, the “Save for Web” dialog defaults to converting the images to sRGB. You have to deselect that option from the SfW popup menu if you want your image colors to match CSS hex values.

Also, if you want to start off with a better colored image, but not have an actual “color profile” embedded in your image, when you open the photo in Photoshop, choose “Convert document’s colors to the working space”.

What do you think about that?
