old problem of jpegs saving darker.

ash_scotland88 · 29 Nov 2013 at 10:08

So last night was my first time shooting in RAW and I think I like it!

Only problem is I can edit to what I want in photoshop by opening up the raw, and go to save and it's the classic issue of darker and high contrast!
I've tried changing colourspace to sRGB but it doesn't appear to make a difference.

Any other ideas?

I'm pretty new to the DSLR so the whole thing is still "experimenting and mucking about"

How do you mean?

Have you got any sample that show the problem so people can help?

What software are you using? I had this when LR would default to the medium contrast curve.

samples?

I'll need to sort out a contrast thingy tomorrow using screen print.
But I've tried changing monitor ICC profiles etc and it's not helping, well it's helping my end but then sharing on facebook it keep reverting back to the dark high contrast version.

I'm using photoshop.

Are you exporting the jpg's with the sRGB colour space?

yes I am.

I think I have it sorted it. Copied over ones to my dads computer and they matched the ones on my PC.
The one I'm sending on facebook to the boy as I test peice, where I first noticed it, he's saying is still dark but it appears fine my end. But I'll view it at his tomorrow.
Facebook uploader and photobucket appear to be displaying it fine.

Maybe the smallest of changes of it being darker.
