ANYONE out there know why, when I have a very sharp photo that was saved/resized from Photoshop (a jpg) that I open in Preview (mac image viewing app) it looks perfect, as it should look, but once I import it to Flash with lossless and high quality settings, it looses some of its saturation and a little bit of darkness? I’m STILL working on my friend’s photo site and this is a problem she first brought up. I don’t know what to do, none of my flash books cover this for CS3. I’ll have to totally restructure this site to have the photos dynamically loaded if I can’t resolve this problem within Flash… or between Photoshop and Flash. I know that’s more professional anyway but I don’t have the time to restructure this site’s image galleries, over this one little problem

update…

oh, and I just tested externally loading one of these images. Same ■■■■ problem. Siiigh. There must be some setting necessary that I’m missing. Maybe the color profile of the image when saved from Photoshop before Flash handles it?

Try using sRGB color.  
I have had no problems with image washout, using this setting.
