This is why Raw files are great for archiving: The original image never changes.

And re-opening the Raw image is what I'm about to tell you to do. When you save the image, you see the icc profile under color? sRGB IEC91966-2.1 is the color profile for web colors. You've changed your default setup, but this file is still using the old settings. Converting it won't help, as the image has already been desaturated...etc by converting it to sRGB. The best plan is to open the raw file again. This time, when it opens in Photoshop proper (not the raw plug-in), it should carry the new, larger, color profile. I think you'll find what you're after then.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for all the info.

However, the files still seem to be getting desaturated.

Here is the message I get when I try to open the RAW files or even the TIFF files I've converted using Nikon's PhotoProject:



Anyone clue on how I can maintain the color even after saving it to JPEG?

I was able to do it yesterday, but now it seems to be screwing up every photo.

Any help would be appreciated :thumbsup:
