Maybe the optimisation from TIFF 16 bits to JPEG 8 bits is not handled very well in PS or am I doing something wrong? The orginal is a TIFF 16bits.  |
Marc,
What is your working colour space?
-Its fine to process an image in aRGB, but you'll want to convert to sRGB at some point if the goal is web reproduction. As the gamut range is different between the two, there are some tasks best done in the desired final colour space.
Did you convert the image from greyscale to RGB?
- To be in compliance with colour space it should be converted to RGB and not left in greyscale.
Are you soft proofing the image against your calibrated monitor profile?
- Soft proofing can make it easier to visualise the effect of output based on device or colour space profiles. The concept and set up of soft proofing is too much to cover conclusively here, but in short it can assist you in the validation of your work. Maybe worth investigating.
Keep at it!
