Thanks, hey do you happen to know why my colors always end up so desaturated on DA? Does it have anything to do with the color profile?

it might if you work in cmyk in photoshop and convert your image to rgb for web purposes, but other than that I have no clue.

in my experience, to get the intended colors, you need to use the sRGB profile.
in Ps, don't use "assign profile", but use instead "convert to profile".
