Hi Joel
No, the colours look fine; but I was interested in your processes. I
normally leave curves alone as I am almost bound to bugger up decent
pictures!
A couple of other points: I don't think that PS does anything but offer
you advice about format when you Save for the Web; and why change to
sRGB? Is it because you reckon that most viewers will have that set up
on their monitors?
Thanks
Chris
