Making sure that your colors match
If you work with photos in a wide-gamut color working space such as ProPhoto RGB or Adobe RGB, image colors may
change when viewed in a web gallery by a browser that doesn’t read embedded color profiles. If this happens, try
converting the image profiles to sRGB (which most browsers use as a default) before optimizing them or including
them in a Web Photo Gallery. Convert them to sRGB in one of the following ways. It is a good idea to work with a copy
of the images.
•
To convert a single image, choose Edit > Convert To Profile and then choose sRGB. See “
profile (Illustrator, Photoshop)

To convert a folder of images, use the Image Processor. Choose File
> Scripts
