A great little blurb from swiss-miss:
perfect png files from photoshop
“Here’s a helpful tip I got from my friend Olivier on how to save out your png’s to guarantee a consistent color/saturation quality across all browsers:
- in Photoshop, turn on proof colors (view -> proof colors)
- make sure your proof setup is set to “monitor rgb” (view -> proof setup -> monitor rgb)
- when you save for web, make sure you do 24 bit png, interlacing OFF, and uncheck convert to srgb
Voila.”
Thanks for the pointer.
I highly recommend her blog, it is delicious.

The web is a major source of information. While the quality of the information may be in question, it is where many people turn when they want or need to know about a specific topic. Make sure the information is correct, clear, and credible
Correct | Be accurate. Don’t add to information pollution. You have a responsibility to everyone who may access the information to be correct. The quality of the content is part of your job. Read it, understand it and work with your team to be correct.
Clear | Once you have correct information develop a structure that will add clarity and assist in the communication.
Credible | Address the objectives by finding ways to reach and entice your audience. The instant the page appears in the browser the viewer makes judgements about the quality and reliability of the information. Give an appropriate, credible voice to the content.
