Exported pictures look different when uploaded to websites.

I noticed that exported pictures from Lightroom  uploaded to Facebook or Shutterfly look different that when viewing the same exported pictures on my pc. Why is that?  The exported pictures were not adjusted, maybe only cropped and red eyes were removed. Yet the colors appear different when viewing the same pictures on Facebook or in Shutterfly.  If I upload exact the same picture directly from my picture folder, the colors look different. I wonder why this is happening.

Export as sRGB will always help; however most browsers are not colour managed so the colour reproduction can vary anyway even when using sRGB. Only Safari is fully managed, Firefox works up to a point (it only uses icc v2 profiles, not v4 it will be OK with LR as LR presently exports to the v2 version of sRGB) or browsers don't honour profiles at all. Calibrating your monitor is also an important factor here and a hardwear device is required to do this correctly.
How an image looks in non colour managed applications cannot be a basis for jusdging an image so only fully colour managed applications (such as LR or PS) should ever be used for processing.

  • Pictures turning green when uploading to website or dropbox after edited in Pscs5

    I am having issues when Uploading photos to my website,dropbox,email or online lab after editing in photoshop , First I edit in LR5 then export to PS with Lightroom default settings and my adjustments made to photos and then in do minor adjustments in Photoshop cs5 and then save in jpeg, well when I go to upload to my website or the others mentioned, the photos tuen green and desaturate and I am not sure why but need to fix this really bad, They do not turn green however when uploading to the blog...please help..:) GOD Bless you

    What software (programs) are in charge of displaying the images you are comparing? Are you comparing the images on the same monitor and computer?
    Different software may display the same image differently depending how it is color managed and if it can be color managed at all. Different monitors, computers, devices, outputs and etc, display the same color differently. The color management was designed to achieve consistent colors as much as possible on different outputs, but on each end this requires software and equipment with color management capabilities and users who know how to use correctly color managed images.
    Having the above limitations in mind, can you please explain what are you trying to achieve?

  • Pictures look different when imported

    For some reason when I import pictures into iphoto they look a little darker/warmer and not as crisp. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anyway to correct this issue?
    Thank you,

    Sounds like the pics are not color managed, or differently color managed from iPhoto. Where are these pics from?

  • In FF4, why does my website looks different when www is omitted

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/814715''
    My site looks different when I use www in the address and when I omit www. Look at http://www.dynapipe.co.uk and http://dynapipe.co.uk.
    This doesn't happen with FF3 or IE7, 8 or 9 or Google Chrome, only FF4

  • Exported images looking different in different browsers

    I've just published a set of images to my website using a publishing service from Lightroom 5, sRGB. The images look different when viewed in Chrome and Firefox browsers, Chrome looking fine but Firefox displaying them with a red cast. The also display with the red cast in some parts of the OS X Finder but not in Lightroom or Photoshop.
    I've run one of the images through Jeffrey Friedl's online exif viewer and it's telling me there's no colour space metadata or embedded colour profile in the images ( http://goo.gl/Ouqkis). this would make sense as far as the strange colour goes but I thought Lightroom always embedded a colour profile?
    I've had a couple of suggestions that revolve around changing firefox settings but really I just need for the images to work in any browser, without visitors having to care.
    Does anyone have any thoughts
    Sample screen grab, Chrome to the left, Firefox to the right.

    Ah ... hang on, I had a second, wide gamut monitor attached to the computer yesterday, mirrored display. Now it's not. I'd been mostly viewing in the main monitor (Macbook Pro), that was the one that was out and I wasn't checking the second monitor much after uploading. I'm willing to bet that was it. Second monitor affecting colour management on the first .....
    This is what you are seeing and why everything now looks fine on your MacBook's display, which is NOT wide gamut:
    http://www.gballard.net/photoshop/srgb_wide_gamut.html
    Here's a screenshot of an sRGB profile ColorChecker image file with and without the profile in FireFox and Chrome browsers. All four browser images look identical on my non-wide gamut display...what do you see?
          With sRGB Profile embedded                 Without sRGB Profile
    As long as the images are sRGB profile it doesn't matter whether the color profile is embedded or not.

  • Pictures look fuzzy when playing in timeline and even after export.

    This is a major headache for me.
    I have brought high resolution photos into FCP 7 and they look great when scaled down when I pause or scrub the video in my timeline. When I play my video in the timeline or after an export, it looks fuzzy or pixelated.
    I was given the suggestion to mess with interlacing, change the photos to 72dpi before importing to FCP, and other suggestions. Changing the dpi didn't seem to make any difference. Is this a render issue? I've been checking the render setting but haven't had any luck.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm not great at determining what my settings should be at for FCP on my MacBook Pro. I have been messing with the settings so much in the past few days trying to fix my fuzzy/pixelated photos problem, and I now am having a difficult time trying to remember what everything was originally set at.
    Help!

    I am using QT 7.6.4 as I'm still hanging back on Leopard - not Snow Leopard.
    If you look in your "Utilities" folder you might a copy of QT (non-X) in that folder. If not there already, it's an "additional install" on the OS DVD I think.
    from here: (Oddly, the corresponding Apple Support page was down. This is Apple's info really...somone else has copied/pasted)
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    2. Open the "Optional Installs folder" and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
    3. Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
    4. QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
    If you have QuickTime 7 installed, Snow Leopard handles the division of labor for you, using QuickTime X when it can and QuickTime 7 when it needs to.
    If you don't already have QuickTime 7 installed, then the first time you try to do something that requires it -- such as play a video that needs a non-standard codec, for example -- Snow Leopard will ask if you want to install it.

  • Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

    Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe.  I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5.  I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it.  I have ran into 0 problems until today.  I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not.  When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
    Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue:  the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module. 
    I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does.  But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module.  It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems.  It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
    It is not the photo itself.  I think it is something wrong with my lightroom?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

    Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
    There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
    The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

  • Exported PDF looks different in Preview, Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to InDesign and experiencing all sort of problems. I'm trying to export PDF of my resume in a small size file to send it over the email. However, after exporting when I view PDF document in different applications, it looks different.
    1) In Adobe Reader in 100% view the letters in bold are "jumping". Please see the screenshot below
    2) The colors of the logo come out right when viewed in Adobe Reader. Which is 1st image:
    However when viewed in applications such as Preview or just default Mac preview with space bar. The colors of the logo and the contact details comes out completely different then in Adobe Reader.
    I export the PDF with the default settings that comes with smallest file size but I need to make sure it looks good as this resume is for my job and will be viewed most probably on the computer. The logo is linked to Adobe Illustator file in InDesign document.
    Please help as I spend about 3 hours trying to figure it out. I would really appreciate your help!
    Natalia

    Hi Mike,
    Thank you for your answer. I've tried most of the thing you recommended but it doesn't work:
    1) The file was originally created in CMYK and then I converted it to sRGB in InDesign. As well as chose transperency blend space as RGB. As for the logo then the option in Illustrator to convert the file into RGB mode seems to be disabled.
    3). Exactly what I was doing.
    I don't understand what I'm doing wrong... Is there a way to import all the links from illustrator into InDesign file?

  • Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

    Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
    file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
    stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
    completely baffled by this.
    My website link is at
    http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
    On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
    the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
    be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
    itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
    as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
    The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
    problem or not once uploaded
    My video on another project plays fine at
    http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
    Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
    South America project?
    Thanking you all..

    Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
    what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
    couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
    the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
    Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
    http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
    I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
    I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
    settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
    the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
    prior to encoding it.
    After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
    Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
    linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
    worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
    file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
    (it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
    difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
    file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
    page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
    file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
    appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
    I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
    working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
    caused the problem?
    Thanking you.

  • Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

    Hello all,
    I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw.  My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs?  Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Michelle

    Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either.  I've only run it a few times myself.
    If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that.  The forum may be able to help you get that working.
    I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView).  Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
    Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
    1.  Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
    2.  Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
    3.  Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
    4.  Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
    5.  Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
    6.  Save new Camera Raw defaults.
    Some notes:
    Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
    Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
    Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management.  IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
    Hope this helps!

  • Exported swf looking different in Pc and Mac

    So I made pages with FC. But now i have noticed that it is looking different in different operating systems.
    When I look it with my Mac Book pro using what ever browser (safari, firefox etc.) The text in this page will look like this.
    Also as you can see I have pressed down the link "Maanantai". In Mac it is looking ok. But in PC there are some cutting.
    And if I look the text with PC (windows XP) with any browser (IE, firefox) it will look like this. How it is possible?
    I thought that swf file is WYSIWYG? Apparently it generates something concerning to text.

    Hi,
    You are correct about font embedding - if you don't do it, your text will look different across platforms.
    If you're willing to jump to Flash Builder, here's the documentation on embedding fonts:

    Stay tuned for some font  embedding help build into Catalyst...

  • FILE SIZES DIFFERENT WHEN UPLOADING

    I'm almost bald from pulling my hair out!!! I have exported photos to my harddrive as jpegs that are less than 1mb but when I try to upload them for an assignment on the school website they are 25 mb??

    How are you uploading the files?   Could it be you’re uploading the original RAW or DNG files which could be 25MB?
    Perhaps provide some screen-captures of the properties of the JPG where it says its 1MB and the properties of the uploaded photo that says 25MB, with enough of the surrounding screen context to make sense of the numbers.

  • I'm new to FCPX and Compressor 4.  My HD video looks terrible when uploaded to YouTube and are no longer 720 or 1080p HD.  Are there codes or a secret handshake to have my HD video remain HD on youtube.  All help appreciated.

    I have been editing in FCP X 10.0.6 and have had success with that on my Mac Book Pro Retina.  But when I go to compress the 1 minute video detined for YouTube inputing that I wish for it to remain in HD (720 and or 1080p) via Compressor 4, the video compresses and I upload it to youtube via their uploader and when the video is played back it looks aweful.  Needless to say it is no longer HD and very blurry.  Is there any help you can give me with step by step codes to follow to ensure my 1 minute video is viewable in HD? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.  

    Thanks a million Russ for you time and input.  I have recompressed my project several times and that aspect has worked a charm.  But I seem to come unstuck when I upload my compressed video to youtube only.  All the presets seem fine and I have done it using either ProRes or Youtube/Vimeo HD options.  I have just left them on my desktop and uploaded to youtube via their uploader from there after sucessfully compressing them with Compressor 4.  Yet, there seems to be no improvement in the picture quality.  Mind you the sound is fine.  I will get busy with some screenshots if you still think they would be handy.  Many thanks again for your consideration. I really had hoped it was as simple as a secret handshake too. Darn. LOL  -RR
