jsocrchik Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I just got done going through all of your tutorials for color space settings/trouble shooting. I've made sure all my boxes are checked to support sRBG in PS and LR and I am still seeing the same issue so not sure what to do next. I'm bringing my RAW photo from LR then editing in PScc. The problem is the color looks totally fine in both of those and after I open the image from it's saved location. When I try uploading to FB or Drop box as I have always done it looks terrible...dark and over saturated. I did just get a new Mac and that's my only difference. Just crazy how different it looks from the saved export vs upload. Any tips that my fried brain aren't seeing would be MUCH appreciated!!! I'm not sure how I'd do a 700 crop of the saturated photo because it shows up normal in my image..just changes when I try to upload??
Damien Symonds Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Hi jsocrchik, which web browser do you use? May I have a link to where you've uploaded one to Facebook? What about if you upload one here to this forum?
jsocrchik Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 I use Firefox. I only have it set so I can see on FB because it looks so awful! I'll do a screen shot to show the side by side.
jsocrchik Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 I don't have one yet...which I know is a big no no. I just got this new Mac last week. I have never had any issues with my old Mac and my images always matched my prints. I was thinking it had to be more then just monitor calibration since they look so different side by side?
Damien Symonds Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 No, it's a problem with the monitor profile. Well, the absence of one. Since there isn't one, I assume various programs are just having to "guess" at how to render colours accurately, and they're guessing differently.
jsocrchik Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) So you think calibrating is what's going to fix the problem? This is taking the fun out of a new computer!! lol Edited February 2, 2016 by jsocrchik
jsocrchik Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Would going in to the System Preferences and changing the display option do anything to help it?
