Loss of color accuracy when uploading photos to web

[leicakl]

Hi, tried last night to upload a photo to the web, but noticed significant difference in color reproduction when compared to the raw converted jpeg photo.

Have tried to even raw convert it to tiff, but color is greatly off when uploaded (same as jpeg). Are there any parameters i should be aware off that forum members here can share?

Thanks a bunch...

It's likely you are editing/uploading your images as Adobe RGB. When displaying on web, edit as sRGB. Only use Adobe RGB for print.

If it's AdobeRGB vs sRGB problem, it's even messier. Browsers that can handle color profile will display your pictures properly (no color loss), but unfortunately, currently the only one that fits the bill ins Apple's Safari browser.

Firefox 3 is supposed to do this, but who knows when it'll be officially out next year.

Why use AdobeRGB then? because it has a bigger gamut (more colors).

Thank you all! Found out that it was the browser that was rendering them differently. I used Firefox before this to upload. Safari seems to be working good...

Appreciate the quickie fix.
