Question
thanks for your time mate, im a freelance photographer in london. after i have edited my photo, which ends up being around 20.mb in size. due to layers and so on. but when i go to save for web. i save it and naturally the file is much smaller. but still i notice that the deep colour and saturation is slightly decreased when compared to the original. as if it is slightly faded, just the colour is simply not as strong and deep.
i hope you can help with this, and thankyou for your time :)

Answer
Hi nicolas,

You should try playing with different values there.

My suggestion would be:
Save It as JPEG,
Quality:90 or 100

and image size you could reduce it, if you don't need a huge picture.

Do let me know for further assistance required.
