I have a great picture. But when I go to edit it in Adobe Photoshop and save it as anything other than Adobe psd, I get this desaturated effect that spreads through all my photos. The colors are completely desaturated. It's fine under Adobe psd, and I can view the true colors within Photoshop, I just can't save that as any other format without losing color. I have set the color space to be matchin sRGB, I have used 8-bit RGB consistently with psd files and jpeg and tiff files. The jpeg and tiff just come out desaturated. I can't get it to work at all. I'm not doing any modifications that can't show on JPEG, I am very, very lost. Thank you for your help.

There is a couple things I do to get consistent color matching from my laptop monitor to my printer. I have read that though adobe RGB (1998) has been a standard, there is really nothing that indicates it is a better color space than sRGB, which is what I use and set my nikon D80 to. I find I have greater flexibility with it. Another thing I have done to maintain consistency is to use a colorimeter and calibration program, like Spyder to calibrate the monitor output which is recommended for LCD monitors monthly. But doing that actually replaces the sRGB color profile I am so fond of and after using the colorimeter, I have not been that impressed. Using sRGB the only non-consitent issue I have with printing is contrast, colors are pretty accurate. So, try switching to sRGB and see what that does for you. You've got an awesome printer, by the way. I envy you. Perhaps there is some insight Epson can provide. I hope this helps a bit.

Maybe you should try converting the RAW pics in another software then take then to photoshop to edit. I have never had any desaturation problems when saving from photoshop to jpeg, but I don't use RAW files because I work with TV graphics, but possibly photoshop doesn't process the RAW files properly so the conversion to jpeg is damaged.
