If you look at the image below, you can see that in Photoshop, the colours being displayed on screen when editing images are slightly desaturated and given a bluey/purple hue.

However, as soon as I go to Save for Web the colours return to normal and appear how they should look :?
Ive checked my Color settings and its set to North American, sRGBIEC6, etc all standard - even when I change these settings, eg to my monitor profile - it makes no difference.
Can anyone shed any light please, I need to get this right for working :(
Nevermind, just as soon as I finish posting I manage to finally find a fix on Google!

Actually its not fixed it, I still have to keep playing around with the colour profiles every time I create a new document. :(
Must be some way of saving it as the default option?
I remember getting pissed off with various folders in XP deciding to be image folders when they were music etc. Turns out that theres some shortcut where if you have a folder set to something, and are holding ctrl down when you close the folder, it applies the settings to all the sub-folders within it or something and remains that way. Maybe something similar is in PS?
Well our designer has told me to stick it into Adobe 1998 colour in Photoshop as the best compromise, it should give a good colour balance between what we see and what clients will see he says. It seems to work well enough, the colour is only marginally different now and it should mean less problems.
