HELP: Dark Banner?

[laurenzside]

Every time I upload a new banner, it looks much darker then the original image. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, has anyone fixed it? Example, my banner's background is white...but on my channel its a darker off-white. It's driving me nuts!

It's probably because you uploaded a .jpg, try using a .png instead.

Try .png, making sure you have at least 72dpi, even though I prefer much higher, and make sure the hexcode you're using to make the white background is actually "white" (FFFFFF)

Maybe it;s because the program you used to edit the baner. I used PS cs5 and uploaded it as a .jpg. Had no problem
