Preview variations in color display

When optimizing an image for the web, consider how the image will appear on different monitors. In general, an image appears darker in Windows systems than on Mac OS systems. You can simulate cross-platform display differences in the Save For Web dialog box.

  1. Open an image and choose File > Save For Web.
  2. Choose your optimization settings.
  3. Click the triangle  to the right of the optimized image to view the document panel menu.
  4. Choose a display option:
    Uncompensated Color
    Shows the image with no color adjustment (the default option).

    Standard Windows Color
    Adjusts the color to simulate a standard Windows monitor.

    Standard Macintosh Color
    Adjusts the color to simulate a standard Macintosh® monitor.

    Use Document Color Profile
    Shows image with its color profile, if one exists.

    Note: These preview options adjust color only in the Save For Web dialog box; they don’t change colors in the original or optimized image.
