Katie! Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't think a graphic design major is stupid enough to use the eye dropper tool incorrectly and I have a perfectly legitimate and perfectly functioning version of Photoshop, thank you very much.

Desbreko Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 [color=#4B0082]So you're telling me that when you use the dropper on the right edge of Sara's piece and the left edge of yours, Photoshop gives you the same RGB value for both? Another few things for people to check: Make sure that [FONT="Courier New"]Image > Mode[/FONT] is set to [FONT="Courier New"]RGB Color[/FONT]. Also, go to [FONT="Courier New"]Image > Mode > Assign Profile[/FONT] and make sure it's set to [FONT="Courier New"]Don't Color Manage This Document[/FONT]. And when saving the piece, make sure the [FONT="Courier New"]ICC Profile[/FONT] box is unchecked.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie! Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Unless I suddenly became illiterate, that is what I said. Here, I followed your suggestions and this is what I got (not sure why you would ever have "Don't Color Manage This Document" checked but regardless): [img]http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4775/raaawrh.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 [color=#4B0082]Because you shouldn't use color management for graphics being displayed on the web. Not all browsers support color management and even the ones that do can be iffy about how well it's handled. Or if you do have it enabled, at least make sure it's set to sRGB. If it's set to Wide Gamut RGB or something, that'll screw with the colors for other people. And the piece still doesn't match up for me, so there's apparently a more fundamental problem here. Can you try opening the .psd file in [url=http://www.irfanview.com/]IrfanView[/url] or something else that can read it and save a JPG version with it instead of Photoshop? Also, if it isn't too big, could you attach the .psd to a post for me to take a look at? [b]Edit:[/b] I just updated the worm with pieces 14-16, using Sara's fixed piece.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 [font=lucida fax]Okay, so I moved every post that didn't claim or update a piece to this thread as everybody is now aware enough about the problem to discuss it on in here. :^D[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie! Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't like giving out my psds to strangers, but someone on this forum has it and will be looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 [color=#4B0082]Fair enough. Would you be willing to e-mail it to me rather than posting it publicly? I'd really like to see if I can replicate the problem myself. [strike]For everyone else, if the colors along the edge between [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/graphicworm/#015]#014 and #015[/url] match up for you, could you please post or PM me what browser you're using, what the [FONT="Courier New"]gfx.color_management.mode[/FONT] option in [FONT="Courier New"]about:config[/FONT] is set to if you're using Firefox, what model of monitor you're using, and what (if any) ICC profile you're using with it?[/strike][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that that sometimes messes up my colors?especially by desaturating vibrant warm tones, which seems like the problem here.

Katie! Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 @Des - I don't feel comfortable giving it to any stranger, public or not. I've given it to someone I trust though I'm not sure if he'll post his findings. @Sara - No, I haven't used Save For Web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 [font=lucida fax]Oops. I was at a pc with the resolution messed up, so I didn't even notice it. :^D Debbie's right, so if [b]Ed[/b] and [b]Shishou[/b] would be so kind to, y'know, expand their pieces into new dimensons, that'd be swell![/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shishou Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 [SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Oh gosh, I completely didn't notice that it was 400 instead of 450.
