As someone who's still learning, I'm trying to make sense of the following:
(1) I made a wallpaper in Photoshop Elements and saved one copy as a JPEG file, and another copy as a PNG file.
(2) I tried them both on my desktop. The JPEG was a trifle darker, but had the same pleasant green as the Photoshop file. The PNG was slightly paler, and the green had become a rather nasty olive.
(3) I viewed the offending PNG file in Photoshop Elements along with the JPEG - and now both of them had the pleasant green!
I assume the culprit is not the PNG format so much as the computer's wallpaper display - or then again, it did show the JPEG with the nicer shade of green, so it's obviously detecting some difference between the two. Maybe by the time the Caedes site has turned the PNG back into a JPEG, the colour will have calmed down again to the nicer green. Whereas if I send my JPEG instead, maybe the Caedes processing will darken it down again, which wouldn't be so good.
Well, that's how the wallpaper (not yet uploaded to Caedes) looks on my computer just now, but probably it would look completely different again on everybody else's computers, ranging from palest mint to darkest forest green.
