  i am actually helping an adviser with her blog (http://caryesser.wordpress.com) and the problem we are having is we edit a photo in photoshop and it looks great until we upload it to the blog. then is loses it’s saturation. is there something that we need to do so that we can keep the images vivid?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you uploading it full-sized and then letting WordPress.COM resize it? Don’t. Resize your image to the size you need for your blog in PS and then upload it.

  How big can my images be?

  WordPress simply does not do as good of job at resizing/resampling images as photoshop. I second Jennifer’s suggestion and do all the sizing/resampling in PS before uploading them. That is what I do.

  lizlargent, make sure you save your photos in the sRGB colour space, not Adobe RGB. That’ll make an improvement.

  Good catch Tellyworth, I had forgotten about that.

  My computer is set on sRGB, and i have tried resizing, which has worked for most images, but i am having trouble with the header image now specifically. any ideas there?
