How to save in sRGB (PS7)?

Hello,

I need to save a jpg in sRGB (in PS7)... how do you do this?

I have the image saved already as RGB but NEED to save it the other way (for the printer)

And can I do a batch save to sRGB?

Thanks for any help,

-phil

Try Edit > Color Settings and change to SRGB (if that was an option in Photoshop 7. I don't know if SRGB was even around in version 7)

Swampy, sRGB certainly was around in PS7. Colour management as we know it has been in Photoshop since version 6.

Phil, the nature of your question leads me to suspect that your images probably are already in sRGB. The "s" stands for "standard", and if you aren't dabbling in advanced colour, your file will probably be in sRGB mode already.

To check, simply open one of your images and go to Image - Mode - Convert to Profile, and see what the Source Space profile is. It'll probably be sRGB (or a variant eg sRGB 61966-2.1).

If it's something else, just choose sRGB as your destination space, and convert it.
