1. Re: Warning out of gamut for printing
gator soup May 28, 2011 5:23 PM (in response to broomeGirl)but I am unable to match the color of my image to the color of my webpage.
If your Web page is filled with #fd5554
and you fill an sRGB image in Ps (Photoshop) with #fd5554 and Save a .jpg (strip the profile)
the page and image should match on your Web page (not accurate but "match" none the less).
The problem on the Web test is likely you are embedding a profile in the Ps image (a color managed browser is using the .jpg profile) and the browser app is applying Monitor RGB to your page color — that's why they are mismatching in your first example. Either that or you are using AdobeRGB in Photoshop and not Converting to sRGB...
Ps, on the other test, is using the embedded profile (or applying its Working RGB, i.e. AdobeRGB, if you are not using the embedded sRGB profile) and Converting to your print space.
I don't believe a "gamut" issue would cause a mismatch, if gamut was clipped or compressed they would be eqaually so affected.
It is somewhat complicated to explain any further, but try your Web test AFTER converting your dog to sRGB, then fill #fd5554, then Save As sRGB .jpg (with no profile).
Place that on your Web #fd5554 and the background and Ps will "match/blend" in most/any browser (Mac or PC)...
Note: If you post any more Ps screenshots, be sure to include the selection for your Source Space so we know what Source Space you are using:

See "another problem" down the page here for this exact issueon the Web:
gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
but make sure your dog has been Converted to sRGB before you fill your hex color (and strip the profile when you save) and you should be good to go on the Web...
