I use PhotoShop CS2 to process my images, "save to web" as an optimized JPEG usually at around 75 or 80, and use FrontPage 2003 to "insert" the images into my website.

Somehow by the time the images get from PhotoShop to FrontPage they SEEM to lose most of their "punch"--colors are dull and the images appear flat. I've even tried attaching the ICC profile from PhotoShop, but not much changes.

As you can imagine, I spend a huge amount of time processing images to make them look good, so I'm totally baffled by what's happening. What am I missing here?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

DennisThis is ringing bells - I'm sure someone else reported a similar problem some months ago.  How are you getting the pictures into FrontPage?  By cutting and pasting?  The best thing to do is to export from PhotoShop and just upload those files directly to your website, by FTP, WebDAV or whatever.  Use a dedicated program for this, such as FTPSurfer (see the software FAQ - LINK in my signature).  Then give FrontPage the image's location on the server, not on your hard DRIVE.  That way you can prevent FP from interfering with the image in any way.

Surely FP doesn't understand ICC?







In case anyone else is wondering, I just don't have the energy to get on my anti-FrontPage soapbox tonight...When you insert an image into FrontPage (I'm referring to FrontPage 2000, Normal view), right click on it and select Picture Properties.  Do you see an option to set JPEG Quality?  What is that setting?I also use f/p 2002, and when I save a pic. I save it to 'My Pictures' then insert them into my web, after which Front Page asks me if I want to save them to my web-folder.. and they seem ok ! .. I think the more you mess about with pics, the worse they are.. just my oppinion ! I like to KEEP thing as simple as possible.
