My recent Colombia trip...

[alexz]

Well, 2 weeks as I'm back from Colombia trip (for work). Stayed a week mostly in Bogota, however was lucky having few free hours here and there taking few guided tours (with personal guide) in the city and outside.
My pleasure to present to the community the outcoming of that journey:

and my favorite from there as long as carrying about street scenic photo:

chances this one worth (for me at least, so far cannot brag by a high hit rate with my Leica photography) spending some time tweaking in PS and printing large...

A lot of the photos look underexposed and washed out. There are a few with rich colors and they look quite a bit better - maybe a scanning issue?

When you were taking photos, what were you going for? What were you hoping to share or remember?

Xmm, in fact, checking the images as uploaded to LUG gallery I indeed notice colors in most are far off the saturation and clearness I see on my PC even outside Photoshop, many looks dull indeed. Images where in RGB format, but perhaps I shall convert them to other, internet-compatible color space ?

use sRGB for web, but I've never noticed that much difference between sRGB and RGB to be honest. perhaps check the gamma setting as well

alexz,

Images you show as output on computer display should be in RGB based, not like CMYK (for print) or other "for editing" color spaces.

Now, I bet you have working color profile set on Photoshop. When you export image and publish it, most of browsers won't show the color as you (photoshop) intended. And of course you can't control how other people's computer displays are set up so the best you can do is not to include any specific color profile attached the images, and if possible, check the image on other computer you have or at least see if it's got acceptable color/tone on a web browser. Some image viewers, some browser like Safari try to use embedded color profile so they aren't good for this testing.

Thanks.
I just checked my setting in PS - while having .tiff file opened (as I obtain from my Nikon IV ED scanner) I have Image -> Mode -> RGB color chosen.
I have forgotten how to check/manipulate by color spaces and in what menu...
