Important to [...]]]> After having edited a photo from camera with 16-bit AdobeRGB color, here is what I do to save as JPEG while maintaining finetuned colors and tones:

  • Flatten image (from many layers to one layer).
  • Convert to 8 bit (JPEG doesn’t support 16 bit): Image -> Mode -> 8 bits/Channel
  • Convert Color Profile (Edit->Convert To Profile…) to sRGB.
    Important to choose Convert to… and not Assign…!
  • Then save as JPEG using either Save As or Save for Web & Devices. Use the first to preserve EXIF tags from camera, use the latter if you want to finetune compression and target file size.
