Default Question about uploading layouts

Does anyone know why my pages look so dull when I upload them? the bright colours are always muted. What am I doing wrong???

Michelle, are you creating your pages in the Adobe RGB color space by chance? I always do (for printing purposes). However, when you save them for the web/gallery, you should first convert them to the sRGB color profile. That should solve your problem.

Thanks Cassie! I tried what you said about the colour profile. I uploaded the jpg again and it looks right now. Yay
I will have to remember to convert all photos to sRGB before uploading.
thanks again.
