Just a question.
I posted a picture recently that raised comments regarding colour problems according to various members.
So I down loaded the picture back and when I put the two up together , with my original, the one off the site had a definate different colour balance to the one I up loaded.
Has any omne else tried this ?

Hi John,
I do sometimes have a VERY slight colour change and sometimes sharpness. Don't know why this is, I make sure all the correct boxes are checked in CS2, I suppose it's something to do with it being posted on the web and compression etc Although it is essential to be working on a correctly colour calibrated monitor otherwise it's difficult from the start.
Regards
Rob

Hi Rob
I dont use CS2 so I can't comment, but it does make me think a bit about colour perceptions,
which is all " as you like it " anyway
Cheers#John

Hi John
Just compared one of my uploaded photos and it's a perfect match.
Are you converting to sRGB before saving?

Hi Simon
I shoot in that format all the the time and i don't change anything as far as I know .
I'll have a quick look.

i've had this problem now and again, bad enough that i have removed the image or reposted one straightaway once or twice,
mind you i hardly ever convert to sRGB, whenever i do so the colours always seem to go "off" so i steer clear of it

Anything web related should always be sRGB.
If you shoot in Adobe1998, save and upload a JPEG without converting to sRGB, certain browsers which don't emulate the colourspace properly (Firefox/internet explorer, for example) will display the colours quite badly.
In my experience, i've noticed that pinks and reds tend to become badly unsaturated and become a horrid brownish colour, this is due to the web browser not being able to display the full width of colours. If you convert to sRGB in Photoshop properly, before uploading to the web, Photoshop properly maps the colours from one space to another so things stay consistant.
You may notice a very slight difference when you convert, from Adobe to sRGB, but the difference is small and can be quickly corrected, compared to a web browser getting the colours all wrong.
