The "idea" behind color management is pretty simple, but the truth is, that it's invented solely to give people headaches. By the Illuminati.

Btw, thank you very much for the link you posted. I was aware of problems with pngs but not about what caused them.

many Thanks! 

many Thanks! 

Before saving, since many features aren't supported in indexed color mode such as layers.

Color management (color spaces, profiles and calibration) is the damnedest thing. I think I understand what it's about, yet I'm often at a loss when problems arise.
Sreencaps: as far as I remember, colors were correct on my old PC, wrong on macs.

I am unsure because this has never jhappened to me. In PS you change when making a new file or generally for the app in the prefs. I don't know about your other appas :/

It may be that, but it happened while picking/changing colors in .gif files as well. Also, I save as .png in photoshop and the problem never happens there (thanks for the indexed mode suggestion btw; are you supposed to set it to that before saving or before starting a new project?). 

@jal - I will try the color profile thing; is that something to change in System Preferences or each app individually? 

Welcome to png gamma correction. Pretty old info yet obviously still relevant; also I have no idea of a fix other than use another format.

@Muffin, Its possible that you are having profile issues in your apps. See if you have a way to make all your apps have the same default profile or a way to override them. Taking a screenshot will always alter colors a bit no matter what. THIS shows you where your profile is in PS seen when you make a new file.

@Dr D and Goodlyay - never saw the image option before, so I used screenshots before. The problem is, and this has been happening with all programs except Photoshop now, is that colors get darker + more saturated as soon as I open them. Namely Pixen and Tiled and Paintbrush have been giving me issues. I have tried Grafx2 but the Mac port is very inconvenient. 

This occurs when I screenshot w/o saving too, so it's not the file handling I think. It's a pain to have to readjust the entire set of colors just to match what I had before. It also happens when I select a color with the dropper tool and try to change the RGB or HSB values; as soon as I click anywhere on the scroller (unless I try to make it lighter by a good amount) the color just becomes darker and more saturated even though its values don't change. 

I didn't mean PJ, I meant you, jalonso. 

How's that mockup 2 coming up?

PJ never makes icon for news. PJ wants to use PJer pixels and we depend on PJers to make them.*

*Don't forget tags so we can find them :)

Yay, we organise a 'stray pixels icon' minicontest! :D

First. 

You really should pixel an icon for "stray pixels". That eye doesn't really fit. 

First. 

Dr D seems to have answered, but if the save as image option does not work, you can always take pictures of your screen and then just crop stuff.

Indeed I've been using Tiled for a while when I work on some of my projects as well.

It does have a .png save option. File > Save As Image.
 

oh, I thought everyone used Tiled :o 

I've been using it for about 6 months now, and can confirm that it works perfectly on a mac. Very useful stuff, but it can't export to a png I think. 

Tiled Map Editor looks really cool.

yay!!!
