Uploaded Pictures Lose Brightness
-
I’m playing around with editing my blog right now. I made my own header on Photoshop. When I uploaded it to my theme it has lost a lot of it’s saturation. The image looks faded and it’s making my blog look really boring and colorless. (When I preview the image out of photoshop it still has the bright colors.) Does anyone know how to avoid this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We can’t help without that.

When you save your image for web, make sure the color profile is set to sRGB.
That’s the only way to get anything resembling consistent colour on the web.

You need to resize the image with a maximum width of 434 px (atleast for my theme). Then do as usual. Upload the image. Then click on the Image Editor (the mountain icon) and go to Advanced Settings and delete the numbers in the boxes. Update. Publish. And there you go.

@sburkebear, are you talking about this blog, http://extinctmag.wordpress.com/ ?
JPG is for photographic type images and the type of image you have in your header will always look fuzzy when saved as a JPG.
Open your original file in photoshop and size it to the exact dimensions required for your theme (760 x 190), go to the file menu and click “save for web & devices and then save it as a PNG. Upload it to your media library, get the URL of that new image and place it in the CSS #headerimage section.
I think you will be amazed by the difference.
