The Problem:
When you use a color profile different than sRGB, the color of your images do not look right when opened in a non color managed application, like a web browser.
A solution is to convert your images to sRGB before you use Save For Web.
But doing it manually can be tedious…
The Solution:
In Photoshop CS2, here comes the Scripts Event Manager to the rescue!
Its function: if a peculiar event happens, it will automatically run an action or a script.
Jeff Tranberry of tranberry.com has created a handy script solution to the above problem.
Visit the sRGBs4w script solution tutorial for details.
