I hope there's someone here who can help this Photoshop newbie!
I am a keen but very amateur photographer, and I'm experiencing a frustrating problem in Photoshop and though I've read a few articles on Colour Profiles, I must be missing something obvious.
I've set my Photoshop (CS6) colour settings (edit/color settings) to ProPhotoRGB. I import my images from my camera and edit them so they look exactly the way I want. The problem is, after I save the final images and view them in other image viewing software, such as FastStone InfanView, ACDsee etc. the colours look a little washed out. I must be missing something obviously but I just don't know what. I know for web uploading, it's usual practice to set your color profile to sRGB, and that seems to work fine for the web, but my images are being saved primarily for viewing offline and for possible printing.
Can someone explain to me in layman's terms what it is I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
Simon.
