A couple of thoughts: unless the image is photographic, avoid jpg.
Either gif or png will be more reliable to match with the CSS
colour codes (might have to post-process the png thou). jpg may not
keep the exact colour value you are after when saved due to the
very nature of jpg compression.
If it's necessary to use jpg, then it would be wise if possible to
do the image first, check the rgb values the saved jpg file has,
and match the CSS background codes to that.
Big thanks to you, Kathy. In the experimenting I'm doing, basically
the same steps in PS as in GIMP, there is something about the GIMP
workflow that is a little off. Almost imperceptible on my main
monitor, and big, mean savage difference on another monitor running
Safari 413
Rather than GIMP not being able to handle color right, I'm starting
to suspect that it's putting in some other data which some browsers
show a lot, others barely show.
Next, I'll try your gif and png suggestions. I do prefer PNG, but am
concerned about the load times of my pages...
thank you!
John
