Screen Calibration

Riamfada

Hi,

Wondering if anyone could help. Im having a weird thing. I do most of my processing on an iMac. Its slow but the big screen is handy. The screen colours are really sharp. However when I upload the images the colours seem to dull out.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

What browser? Are you exporting sRGB or Adobe RGB? You should use sRGB for web viewing.

Where are you uploading too? I think some picture websites might apply their own compression.

D.S.

Agree with other posters - could be the fact it's not in sRGB or compression/importing algorithm on the website. Another factor (probably unlikely) could be your screen calibration (do you calibrate your monitor with a calibrator like Spyder / colormunki)?? If it is this, you'd notice it more if you were looking at the website on a different device and your seeing that your shots are less saturated - you wouldn't notice this on your iMac monitor..

That's screen calibration, its a different ball game when your monitor is accurate.
I think it could have a lot to do with color temperature, generally I-macs are warm, I've always noted and there high always a little saturated internally when you got to print them your like OOO this isn't what I wanted.


Get a color munki, there's a base model which is friendly on the pocket don't think its to do with your actual export settings...
