Bill,

 

Do you have any tips on making the pictures look the same with the originals when posted in flicr?

Apparently i have to use SRGB instead of adobeRGB, correct? But i done that, it's slightly better, but still looks desaturated / washed out.

I dont have a callibrated monitor but i use mbp for editing purpose, all images are edited using LR, and exported to srgb. When i view it in mac's preview it looks the same, but put it in the website, and it looks terrible. Any cure for this?

 

Thank you

Here i'll post some samples:

 

In this picture the grass, stone, and helmets appear lighter than in lightroom.

 

in here my son's face and the dark camouflage in his shirt also appear lighter.

 

thanks again for any help.

Papih, I think your last two posts should be posted in the Digital Forum.

 

I don't use Lightroom or flickr and there are lots here who do, but they don't necessarly read this thread. Post with a title that suits your question.

 

I do have a couple of questions.

 

1. Is the image posted in the Forum lighter than on your monitor? This may be the result of a color-space mismatch. Your M8 is set to sRGB, right? I believe that's the way you should keep you space set. Post your question and get the answer from the real monsters.

 

2. Or, is the color in your images lighter than you see if with your eyes. They can't be calibrated, naturally. They only control your artistic efforts. That's always a dilemma.

 

Please post so real guys can advise you.

 

Regards,

Ok, thanks for the input.

It seems that when i use safari, the pictures is a lot closer with the lightroom/preview, than when i use other browser.

 

btw, i think andy already moved the post. so thanks again.
