Members TomE Posted July 30, 2022 Members Report Posted July 30, 2022 Not sure where to put this. When I upload JPEG photos to this site they display significantly darker with the tones are rather muddy. This is true when viewing the site with different browsers, and this doesn't happen when I upload to other forums and social media. I crop and adjust tone/brightness etc using Photoshop before uploading a JPEG. Is there a different file format or settings that work well for you? Quote

Members TomE Posted July 30, 2022 Author Members Report Posted July 30, 2022 Maybe I'm being too picky. Here are the same photos posted on FB https://m.facebook.com/groups/FLeathercrafters/permalink/10160079757549603/?ref=content_filter and on this forum Quote

Here are the same photos posted on FB https://m.facebook.com/groups/FLeathercrafters/permalink/10160079757549603/?ref=content_filter and on this forum Tom, the issue that you have NOT assigned a color profile to your image. That means it'll never appear in a consistent manner to a viewer. The very best thing you could do is to assign the sRGB color space to your image(s) if you are intending them to be viewed on the web. Even then, if the user has an uncalibrated monitor they may not see what you intended them to see. The AdobeRGB color space is what I usually work in as it has a larger color gamut than the others, but when I save images for a specific purpose I assign the appropriate color space to them. You're obviously particular about how the images appear, so as I said, the best solution is to assign the sRGB color space to them. (I downloaded your image and checked it... no managed color space.) You're using PhotoShop you said... keep your main image in AdobeRGB, and if you're using Save For Web, make sure to assign sRGB to the smaller image you're using on the web. Hope this helps.

Members TomE Posted July 30, 2022 Author Members Report Posted July 30, 2022 Thanks @MtlBiker! That’s exactly what I needed to know. I will do some reading and put this new knowledge into practice. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Quote
toxo Posted July 31, 2022 Report Posted July 31, 2022 News to me also. Will investigate. Thanks @MtlBiker. Quote
MtlBiker Posted July 31, 2022 Report Posted July 31, 2022 @TomE and @toxo - I have been heavily into photography for over the last 60 years. I do a lot less photography these days, but used to have a full studio set up in our art gallery. I have done sports, nature, portraits and glamour/artistic nudes and have been published several times. Generally only serious photographers are so concerned with color accuracy and for most web site postings and display, a little variance doesn't really matter. Especially since the people viewing those images only rarely themselves have color calibrated systems. I did my own printing, but often advised other photographers how best to send an image to a service bureau for printing. Unless the photographer has a properly color calibrated system, there's no way that a service bureau (properly calibrated) would see what the photographer expected them to see. Often the photographer (without a calibrated system) would spend a lot of time editing and getting a photo exactly to his/her liking, only to find that when printed by a service bureau it wasn't the same. Every step along the way needed to be calibrated. Probably nobody here is interested in seeing a small sample of my photography, but just in case, here is a NSFW link to some of my Artistic Nudes.

Members TomE Posted July 31, 2022 Author Members Report Posted July 31, 2022 @MtlBiker your artwork is more interesting than mine. I was a scientist making figures for papers and talks on mechanisms of DNA repair. Never learned about color space or profiles, but it would have helped for those times when slides didn't display the way I wanted. Here's a picture of human DNA ligase I, a protein structure we determined by x-ray crystallography, with our cartoon rendering of a chromosome in the background. That's about as fanciful as my work got. I am pretty good at identifying right-handed vs. left-handed helices in the stamped borders of leatherwork. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 1, 2022 CFM Report Posted August 1, 2022 i photo just about anything interesting to me. This is an old barn loft i thought was cool, way out in the boonies.
