Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 This kid is coming out super ashy. I can't figure out how to get a screenshot on the new forum (first post since you switched over). In PS I think her skin looks a lot less...dead. How do I post my screenshot?
Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Quote I guess I was hoping it would show the color difference, but I guess screenshots aren't color managed... Either way, I'm working in sRGB 8bit and I'm trying to save as a PNG for my FB page.
Damien Symonds Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Ok, so are you saying that the photo looks different when you post it on Facebook, compared to how it looks in Photoshop?
Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Sorry, yes. In PS she's nice and warm, and on FB she's ashy. I just found if I save in JPEG it seems better. I'd still like to know why it's changing when I save as PNG.
Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Head's up, the link to turn on the color management in Chrome is 404 not found.
Damien Symonds Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I know. Heads up, Chrome is sub-optimal and I recommend you stop using it.
Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 It does match in Firefox, but still looks dreadful in the other browsers and on my phone (please don't say it's because it's dreadful to begin with). I'm assuming that the majority of people who see the photo are not in Firefox and see a very ashy kid. Do I just have to suck it up and live with it?

Nothing you can do about the screens and browsers others are using. Their lack of monitor calibration is probably going to have a bigger impact on how the image appears than what browser they choose.
Damien Symonds Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Do your pro lab prints match Photoshop? (And now Firefox?)
Meetmow Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Unfortunately, it's been about 6 months since I've ordered any prints, but the last time I did they still matched.
Damien Symonds Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Gosh no, that's not necessary. In their frames is fine. You just need to check that your screen's calibration is still accurate to them.
Damien Symonds Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Excellent! Then all is well. Don't worry about what other people may or may not be seeing, you can't control that.
