Hi I have a new Laptop runnings Windows 7 Home Premium. I installed PSE10 this week. I uploaded scans of my artwork and I resized them and adjust the blue colour (by only one click/ or 1 shade of blue.) I saved the image as a Jpg - high. It opens up on the desktop far too dark. How do I save the images to the desktop so that I can update my website using jpgs from teh desktop.

Thank you

In PSE, use File...Save for Web. At the bottom center of the Save for Web window, you can click on the button to preview the image in your browser.

Also, use Edit...Color Settings and choose the "Always optimize for computer screens" option.

Dear Ken

I did as you suggest. Saving it for web and I increase blue by one grade and I get a workable jpg. But that bit too dark in comparison to the original. I had the colour setting correctly set. I can save the particular image with the right colours using pse5 on my old Laptop. On the new laptop if I use "increase" blue to lighten up the image it appears too blue in emails and also on my website it will give the wrong colour as if it is overblue....

Your answer is very reassuring and I will do as you suggest.
Many Thanks
Paul;a

Hi Pat.
Thank you for your help. I apologise for any misunderstanding. I opened my emails 11pm last night and there were about 50 emails in my private inbox and 50 again in gmail. I had 2 and 3 of the same emails repeated. I just picked one email and tried to contact Adobe. " report spam " was the only option to stop the emails from coming in. I thought by moring maybe I would have 200 emails. If the same email is repeated twice and three times then I can only react to this as spam.
Best wishes
