Washed Out Pics After Editing (1 Viewer)

Hey Guys,

I am having trouble with my pictures ever since I began shooting in RAW (the past few weeks). When I look at my pictures in Lightroom and Photoshop they look fine. When I try to put them as my desktop background or put them on my website, they appear very washed out. The colors are diluted.

My process for processing pictures has been:
-Open and edit RAW/NEF files in Lightroom 3
-Right click on the image in Lightroom and click Edit In Photoshop CS5
-Edit the image in PS to the way I like it, then save as "name" as JPG.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi Dave,
I sometimes have this issue I always shoot in Raw, do my initial pping in Canon's RAW editing suite and then onto CS3, my shots do tend to look better in RAW also.The clarity looks better amongst other things. I have brought this matter up before on this forum and basically I was given the impression that it was my pping skills that were not quite on the mark. Im sorry I can't offer any practical advice, but just a line to let you know I have the same issue and will be following this post to see if anyone can help.
Good luck.
Adam

First thing that springs to mind is colour space.

Are you saving the jpegs in SRGB, David?

Exactly my thought too. In Photoshop Edit->Convert to Profile or use the Save for Web dialog.

The color space was exactly what was wrong! I figured it out last night after I had posted this, but thanks a lot guys!
