Every time I've tried to add a banner into Dreamweaver, the color gets severely desaturated. My color profiles are all synch'd, and I can't understand what's going on. I do not think this is a color profile issue anyway... the change is too drastic. When I click to add a picture inside the banner div tag, I choose the psd file as the source, and it asks me choose a save location and quality for the jpeg/png/gif file, whatever I choose. In the preview to this box is when the desaturation first shows up. Choosing different qualities and different file types does not help, and only serve to change the color very marginally.

I've tried converting the colors in the banner to web-safe colors in Photoshop, but they tend to get slightly darker, not lighter (in Photoshop), and then desaturate in Dreamweaver just like the original colors.

Anybody know what gives?

Here's an idea - stop using this Photoshop --> Dreamweaver thing.
Copy the banner section out of photoshop into it's own file, do a "Save for Web", save it as a JPG, put the jpg file into your web site directory and pull it in with the proper tag.

I realize that these Adobe suites are putting this stuff in place to make it 'easy' for newbies to do things, that doesn't mean it's the best way, or that it will yield good results.
