Same colour in FW and Photoshop but looks different

Freeway
1

The ‘background’ colour of my page in Freeway is E1E1E1. I’ve created a Photoshop file for a ‘background image’ which fades into E1E1E1. i.e. the background image should fade into the background colour.

But, when viewed in a browser the Photoshop “E1E1E1” is much darker!

The background image is saved as an RGB PNG file (Interlace: none).

Any ideas?

Thank you

Try using the Save For Web option in Photoshop and make sure the Convert to SRGB option is checked.

Or have it fade to nothing and set is a transparent png so the
Photoshop image will fade into the Freeway b/g?

fade from nothing to a E1E1E1, assumed a background is set to colour E1E1E1 will result entire E1E1E1 on the page isn’t it?

Do it as Joe said - just rebuilt it quick:

It will work like a charm.

Hi Joe and Thomas

Yup - doing the Save for Web worked.

Thanks
