“Save for Web” doesn’t
work in Photoshop (unless they’ve fixed it very recently) i.e. it doesn’t
work converting the colour space and squeezing it without colour blocking from
Adobe RGB to sRGB (what Les Walkling calls “Satanic RGB”). The
engine got deleted when Kodak went broke. The other “Convert to profile”
seems to work but I’m not exactly sure it is really working or if the
images I try are already within the smaller colour space.

The images look white to me too but
remember there is no real colour calibration on the web. This is why when you
shop online the things look nothing like what they appear.
Cheers,
Geoff

backgrounds white. Sigh.
Linda: Oh, that's the problem! My monitor is calibrated :). A recently
purchased Dell 24 inch LCD.
Lynette: I have
older work, too, which is sometimes quite a problem. These were recorded
on film, which adds another layer of corrections. I added the small white
border around the black because the black borders alone don't always show
clearly on line. Noticed this first with illustrations for books, and I
just carried the idea over to anything that needs a black border to begin with.
Lynette: you downloaded an image? Oh, dear. I never
thought to check. It would seem unnecessary in a Squarespace template
that adapts to tablets and cell phones. Argh! Maybe I can add one
in "Save for Web" function and make it easy. Sigh 2.
Ann: I should
actually read the instruction to my Epsen V500. Maybe there's a
background color substitution there as well :). Of course, one device's
"white" can be another's pale pink or gray.
Thank you all for looking
!

I can verify it too now: they are white. I should have thought of this
first. I grabbed your vireo image, opened it in Photoshop, then took my
eyedropper tool to see what value the background has. It reads 255 everywhere I
check. You can't get whiter than that!
