problems with colours when uploading...

wez130 · 14 Apr 2008 at 21:59

I've been suffering probs the last couple of days with colours of my pics, when i upload my photos to my webspace, the colours look washed out and the image looks bland(er) than i processed it, i.e..

That's the web shot on the left and processed shot on the right, any ideas why it's changing?

What happens when you download the uploaded picture and view it in another program?

Try using a different browser

Its due to the different ways they render images....

Then it can be deduced that it is the browsers fault.

which format of image are you using?

You're processing your images in Photoshop [or a variant] within the AdobeRGB colour space, and then saving for web with the AdobeRGB profile embedded - am I right?

This page goes some way to explaining the situation with colour management and images for online display.

I've always used the same profiles and never experienced this before in three years.

Hmm, odd. Which browser are you using to view once uploaded?

Also: is this happening with recent photos? Have you re-uploaded some earlier photos to see how they now fare by comparison?

wez130 · 16 Apr 2008 at 16:35

this is happening on firefox and internet explorer as i've just tried explorer and it's the same. It is recent - as in the last set of photos from sunday, anything before has been fine, i've not changed any settings and i dunno why it's decided to start doing it now

could it be down to a driver update?
