Colour Problems Between Flickr and my PC

leinsterman

This one is a bit odd but has anyone had problems with colour workflow when uploading to flickr ?

I uploded some images the other day to flickr and the hue is way off what I see in Lightroom on my PC ... I then uploaded another test image today from the same PC and it works fine .. it looks identical online to the one I see on my display in Lightroom ... anyone seen this issue and its resolution ?

Here are the images, first the one with hue problems -





Now the one that looks identical on my PC and in flickr-

You probably checked......but colour space?

Fajitas!

Browsers ain't callibrated... I don't know the full spiel...but wait til Valentia comes back from the pub!

'Colour aware' is the phrase you are looking for young Waterfordian. Safari is indeed colour aware....most of the rest are not. sRGB for the web is prolly best as the majority of browsers basically 'second guess' what to display if they happen upon an image with a colour profile embedded that is alien to them.

This may not be the problem though.

I probably should have added ... I am using the Pantone Huey Pro to calibrate my screen ...

Duh!!!

I was a mismatch in colour spaces ... I had Pro Photo RGB in Lightroom and sRBG in CS3 ...

Thanks Roen ... works now ... here's the proof -

Which one?

It is strange that Lightroom uses ProPhoto as it's default workspace. I'd say it catches out more people than not.

I see pretty radical differences between Safari and Firefox looking at the same image, so I guess I'm just agreeing.

So when I save my jpegs for the web using (say) PhotoShoppe, should I embed a colour profile or not?

Hugh, if you're using adobe rgb then convert to srgb before uploading. I only discovered this a while ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/julieodonnell/399760940/

Speaking of which - do you all import in adobe rgb and convert to srgb for web, or do you just work in srgb? I'm wondering what I'd really gain from working in adobe rgb at all, even if some of the colours are slightly out of gamut... I'm not printing a huge amount of stuff so it mostly ends up in srgb anyway.

heh "gamut"...

I'll get me coat

For home printing it is best to use adobe rgb.Thats the space I've set Cs3 to.I have the warning turned on so when i import into Phoroshop iit asks me what space i want to use.the cam is set to srgb so I'll just work in that at first for uploading to flickr.Then if I get a shot that i think is worth printing, when I import it into photshop i just tell it to "convert document to working colour space" which is adobe rgb. I have also been driven mental by this colour space thing in the past !!

If you're shooting RAW it makes no odds what the camera is set to as the profile is set in PP afterwards.
I export from LR in Adobe 1998 and as my final step in PS I run an action that converts from 16 bit adobe tiff to 8 bit sRGB jpeg, then thats the lad for upload to Flickr and to photobox.
