Dear Mrs. Warner,

My name is Jan Elias and I am a photo enthusiast. I am not sure whether you have the time to answer my e-mail, but I thought I should try.

Recently I discovered that when I upload pictures on the web their colours look different in different browsers. As you are a well known web designer I checked your website and didn’t find any colour variation in the photographs on your page in different browsers.

I wanted to ask you whether it would be possible for you to tell me what to take care of when I put photographs online in order to keep the colours throughout different browsers the same or if you have mentioned this in one of your publications I also would be very happy to purchase it.

I am in desperate need to know how to improve colour management in the web and would be very happy if you could help me.

Best wishes,

Jan

Hi Jan,

I optimize all of my images using Adobe Photoshop’s Save for Web feature. It’s not much of a secret, but it’s a great tool for preparing images for the Web.

You should also know that photos and other images with many colors should be saved as JPEGs when you want to put them on the Web. The lower-cost, Adobe Photoshop Elements, also has a Save for Web feature.

Hope that helps,

Janine
