I see. Well, most printing places I've been to, for some reason, suggest a PNG file with a minimum dpi of 300. So, given that dpi is "locked" at 300, and given that I want my picture to be 8x10 inches when printed, all we (the printer and I) have to do, is experiment with pixel dimensions on several test prints, just until we reach the desired print size of 8x10? Thank you for your response by the way. ... View more

Got it. Would you by any chance know how to (a) check if I have an accurate profile of my monitor set as the display profile and (b) if I don't, how do I choose the accurate one? I wouldn't want to drag this thread any further, or take up your time, so a simple link to the related tutorial would be more than enough. Btw, I'm on a MacBook currently. Thank you. ... View more

Yes - bring it into a colour-managed environment and make your colour judgements and adjustments ('dyeing') there.

Thank you for your response. Suppose I bought a mango colored t-shirt where everyone can see it's mango without actually needing tinted glasses. That is everyone but me; let's say I wear marigold-tinted glasses so as a result I see it as marigold. Now, I know the t-shirt is mango, no arguments there. But I like it more as marigold. I can either wear my marigold-tinted glasses whenever I wear this t-shirt, or I can maybe have it "dyed" marigold so that everyone (including myself) can from now on view it as marigold and not mango, without wearing any glasses of course. Again, it was mango, then dyed marigold, and with naked eyes, everyone sees it as marigold. Until of course someone specifically chooses to wear tinted-glasses, or is forced to, or doesn't even know they're wearing glasses in the first place. Given, however, that one is not wearing any glasses then they see it as marigold from now on, due to me having it "dyed". So, is there any way to "dye" the t-shirt marigold? ... View more

I apologize for this late response but the nature of my work practically made it impossible for me to reply earlier. On to our subject now: All technicality aside, and whether which software is "right" or "wrong", your reasoning is this: I happen to want to wear an orange t-shirt in the shade of marigold, and you keep telling me that I should instead wear a t-shirt in the shade of mango, because the fashion police says that marigold is outdated or whatever. I don't care if you, or the fashion trends, direct people to wear mango this season. I want my t-shirt to be marigold and not mango. And when I wear my t-shirt I want everyone to see it's marigold and not mango. Now if we take the orange t-shirt allegory and apply it into my image here, is there any conversion/transformation process which will make (force) my image to universally depict the colors that I want? Is that possible? Yes or no? If it's a plain and simple no, just go ahead and say no, instead of trying to convince me that my preferences in color are right/wrong –– as if preferences could ever be right/wrong anyway. Your narrow-minded approach and by the book attitude has forced me to rephrase again and again (and again) my needs as if I'm conversing with a child. It's the second page on this thread and I have no idea how to express what I'm asking for in a more simple manner. And yet, by diverting the topic to right/wrong, you have repeatedly failed to suggest a proper way to solve my problem, which again, is to universally use the colors that I want on that image. On the 33rd post, you even brought up copyright. God, I wonder if anyone could bring up a more irrelevant topic than this, if they tried. Please, don't bother replying with technicalities about right/wrong again, cause it's obviously a mango/marigold t-shirt allegory reasoning as far as I am concerned, and I do not plan to reply to that again. Thank you. ... View more

Ok, so let's see if I did it right: Step 1: I opened the original file (downloaded from the internet) with PS Step 2: Edit > Assign Profile > selected Profile: Display > OK Step 3: Edit > Convert to Profile > selected Destination Space: Profile: Working RGB - sRGB IEC61966-2.1 > OK Step 4: Saved file The file I got out of this process is identical to the original, i.e. the exact way I want it to be.

Pretty much. I guess you could say that I don't care about whether the browser or PS is, technically, right or wrong. I'm just looking to use the colors on the left side of the image in the OP, while the image is imported on Photoshop. That's it. And then when I export/save it from PS and upload it somewhere, to still use the same variation of colors, not the one that PS overrides it with, again, whether it's right or wrong. Thank you. ...

Thanks for that tip. However, when I said "what is the proper way to get the colors you get on your 3rd image" I was referring to PS, not Firefox. So far, in order to get the colors of your 3rd image (while the image is imported on Photoshop), assigning profile: Display is the only way to do that for me, and since you've made it clear, this is not the route I should go. While, from what I understand, sRGB is the profile that should be assigned (because that is the way to get the correct colors), that alone is not saying much to me as it doesn't serve my needs, since I simply personally prefer the colors on the 3rd image of yours, and not the ones on the 1st two – even though they are considered to be the correct ones. So, which is the right way to get these colors on your 3rd image, while the image is opened in Photoshop? ... View more

Your web browser - I assume Safari I use Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I just tried opening the 1st image (original file) in all 3 and I got the exact same result in all of them. In a nutshell, on my computer: Preview = Safari = Firefox = Chrome = 1st image on post 19 = 3rd image on post 19 = image on the left in OP = the exact way I want the picture's colors to look like Also, from I see on the 2 pictures you posted: 1st image = 2nd image and 3rd image = all the aforementioned ones (on my computer) So, what is the proper way to get the colors you get on your 3rd image? ...

You should have said you downloaded this from the web. I did. On post 17. The very first thing you should always do with web files, is to check whether it has a profile at all. If not, assign sRGB. But if I assign sRGB the colors are changed to not desired ones. I turns into the image on the right in the OP if I do. As for your insistence on using the display profile as document profile, I officially give up. You'll quickly find yourself in a total mess you can't back out from, but if you insist, what can I say. No, I'm not insisting in using the display profile. What I insist in, is merely finding a solution to the issue. I don't care which profile I'm going to assign as long as it provides a solution to the issue. The 'display profile' just so happened to provide a solution for me. Apparently, according to you, I shouldn't use it, but If I use sRGB, as you insist, I get messed up colors, the ones on the right image in OP. When I use 'display profile' I get no change in my document at all. No change on my document's colors is what I've been looking for this entire time now. The third is the one you assigned your display profile to. That's the odd one out - it's less saturated and slightly yellowish. Are you telling me that the third and the first image are not 100% identical on your computer? ... View more

Ok, I did it. Apparently, there's no difference at all when I assign it because as I said on my previous post that's what it already is assigned by default. More specifically, when I assign sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (even though it is selected by its own), the red "close window" button on the top left of the image's window doesn't add a black dot in it (which is what happens when a change is made on the file and prompts you to save before exiting). The image remains as it is on the right side of the image I uploaded in the OP. If it's of any use to you here's the files: (Original file downloaded from the internet) (file opened and saved through Photoshop without making any edits myself, default profile assigned: sRGB IEC61966-2.1) (original file opened and saved through Photoshop, only thing I did while it was in Photoshop, was to change the assigned profile to "Display".) In response to: "What if you send this file to other people, or to other devices? What are they going to do with your monitor profile? That profile applies only to that specific MacBook screen": In my computer it looks 100% exactly like the first image, are you saying in yours it doesn't? Thank you. ... View more

Ok, I don't remember if it did have sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or something else embedded, to be honest. Here's what I did though; I just opened the original file on Photoshop (the one I posted in the OP, just the image as I got it from Google, unedited by me) and when I click on "Assign Profile" I get: Working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (that's the selection that's checked by itself) Now, if I click (check the selection) on Profile: Display the image's colors are fixed to the desired ones; I mean the ones that were projected on Google when I downloaded it, Preview and all the other apps that I imported this image in. Why are you saying that this a mistake? 😕 By the way, thank you for your insight. ... View more

In response to "Is this a dual display setup?" the answer is no. To be honest, I don't see what I'm getting wrong. I actually opened the image on Photoshop, assigned profile to "Display" and now it looks the way I want it (I mean like it does on Preview and all the other apps I use). I also saved it and compared the images (one from Preview and the one from Photoshop) and they're identical now. Are you saying that I messed it up somehow? ... View more
