Color management and images uploaded to the web

Hi,
I use Photoshop on both a mac pro (OS 10.5) and a PC (Vista) and when I upload photos to the web, the images processed on my PC look just fine, but the images I process on my Mac look washed out and pale on the web. The funny thing is the Mac images look GREAT on the Mac, but washed out on the PC. Is there some color profile or calibration that I need to be doing? Please help!

can I re-open/expand this one? I don't think it is quite this simple
at present I perform a similar manual operation having set up a series of calibrations using the system prefs>displays>colour in different light and including gamma 2.2 version
I use Nikon Capture NX2 for my photographic editing, but as you may not be familiar with it, it is serious software (dare I say here orders-of-magnitude better and more extensive than Aperture) and works on RAW (nef) files. I post on a number of equally serious web photo-forums posting at near professional level. There is a constant trickle of EITHER complaints about 'too dark' from PC users OR about colour, but am not concerned with that here.
I tried out the suggestion of working at gamma 2.2 myself and found I had to adjust a good image by +0.67 EV to get back to normal. That is unacceptable and hate to think how results would print.
So 10.6 is about to go to gamma 2.2 as normal, but what effect will that have on previous work done with 1.8, ie will the system correct everything by itself (or do we need to reach heaven first)?
The more immediate effect of 10.6 will be that Nikon and others will probably take another 6 months to make their software compatible

  • Images when uploaded to the web the colors shift

    I have been having a problem lately with my images displaying funky when they are uploaded to the web. The images become over saturated. The color space is sRGB so I am not sure what is going on. I never have had this problem till this year. I use lightroom, then export the image and finish editing the image in photoshop. When I export from Lightroom I pick srgb color space.

    People say so because by default the system assigns sRGB color space for the monitor profile. This in effect turns off the color management of the display in color managed programs when images are displayed with sRGB profiles. Then this makes the display of sRGB images in the color managed programs match the non-color managed programs. This also makes people wrongly believe that non-color managed programs are using the sRGB color space while in fact it is the color space of their monitors because non-color managed program have no clue about any color spaces. Monitors may differ a lot from each other while the sRGB color space like any other color space has very specific colors.
    It is a very simple test, View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB. This turns the color management of the image display off. Does this match the sRGB images? The answer will be yes if the system is using sRGB color space profile for the monitor regardless of how good or bad the monitor calibration is.  If it does match and if the monitor profile was created with a calibrator then this is like hitting the jackpot which as far as I know no one has claimed so far. Yes, on theory it is possible but on practice  it doesn't happen easily and that was the main reason the color management was invented (physical devices like monitors can't  match device independent color spaces). Everyone with a custom monitor profile made using a calibrator will detect a difference between images displayed with Monitor RGB and sRGB on any kind of monitors - not only wide gamut but standard too. This means it is typical to see difference between color managed programs and non-color managed programs on properly calibrated monitors.

  • 'The monitor profile "LCD color management and conversion" PSE6

    Does anyone know how to correct this?  I can find older posts  but they date back too far.  Where they say to go and what do has changed since.
    The monitor profile LCD color management and conversion appears to be defective.  Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
    Everything dispalys in a cream color background and nothing prints correct color.  I have PSE6.

    todls1:
    I'm guessing this message appears when you start the PSE6 Editor?
    If so, what you should select is Ignore, and check the box to not show the message again. (Alternatively, you can remove the profile. If you wish to do this, tell me what edition of Windows you have and I can provide instructions.)
    Essentially, you have a profile installed for your computer's monitor, either installed automatically by Windows Updates, it came with your computer, or it was installed with a driver (or piece of software) for your monitor.
    This type of profile is "generic" and does not contain color calibration information.
    Elements looks for profiles assigned to your monitor, because if the profile was created as part of a color calibration process, then that profile contains information that will help Elements to ensure that the colors you see on the screen are accurate.
    Color is a complicated topic, especially when you introduce computer monitors, but suffice it to say that each monitor has various things that can make it display the same image in a way that's different from every other monitor. These things can include age of the monitor, the specific settings (e.g. contrast, brightness, etc.) of the monitor, and the lighting conditions in the room. When you calibrate a monitor using specialized calibration hardware/software, the calibration software creates a profile that tells programs on your computer (like Elements) about all these factors and how to compensate for them to ensure everything is displayed correctly.
    Sorry for what may seem a long-winded explanation, but just understand that using the "generic" profile instead of one created by specialized calibration equipment has caused colors to appear incorrectly in Elements and are likely contributing to the problem when printing. This is why you should select Ignore.

  • I need a true multi-user contact management that do not involve the web

    I have over 11,000+ contact in my contact data base and it is getting really slow, especailly when it try to update with iCloud.  I need a  true multi-user contact management that do not involve the web. i.e. I prefer thety sync as most of the time, I do not have access to internet at all!  I would perfer it wil work with apple contact in some way, but I need a robust contact data base... sort of the older style CRM without the web, but with sneaker net ablity and true client server speed!  I really do not feel like wriitng it in a relationship data base and do the hard work and prefer to just pay and get a top notch product.  Address book server seems to be great except I am running moutain lion and it does not work under that OS!
    Any suggesytino would be sincerely appreciated.

    As my friends above have pointed out, the sweet spot on the JVC is the size of a postage stamp; move a few degrees in any direction and the image takes a trip into the dumper. Even that can be worked with except when you're cheek to jowl with a producer and dp - one of whom had extremely bad breath - looking over a cut for approval. The screen is incredibly reflective so you'll see something from the next county over. Other than these two rather large problems, the imaging of the JVC looks nice.
    The Flanders are decent products and I would like to see them in use other than the horrid conditions at NAB, but I wouldn't go overboard with praise for them like some of the grazers do on the Creative Cow. They have a 30 day no questions asked return policy and that gives you a chance to use them which is nice. I really hate their big white logo, if I was to get one I'd have them remove it first.
    $3,000 to $4,000? You really want my opinion? Find a good used Sony BVM or Ikegami HTM, something with low hours on the tube or something that has been recently retubed. Those animals are still out there. Maybe by the time it dies all this flat panel bs may have worked itself out.

  • Site works in preview but not when uploaded to the web

    I have been trying to add a link from my website to another project I have been doing, a mini site made with Flash.
    I wanted the link to open up a new window with the animation playing inside, and it works perfectly when I use "preview in safari" within dreamweaver, but now I've uploaded to the web it just opens up a blank window.
    This is the url for the homepage:
    http://kayleighthompson.com/
    and the link is the ActiveAid button at the bottom of the navigation list.
    If anyone knows how to get this working I'd be very grateful! It's for a uni project due in this afternoon :S

    I think you may be having a problem with how Flash is displayed. The Flash on the first page doesn't display in IE8... although it does in Chrome. The second page doesn't display in either. Your link is correct. I checked that.
    Wish I could be more helpful, I'm having the same issue with IE and DW CS4 myself, and can't figure it out.
    This may help: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation
    Good luck! Let me know if you figure it out.

  • Application that allows to paste images copied from the web..

    hey guys.
    im looking for an application that allows to paste images copied from the web..
    ive tried a few but they only paste the next... anyone help?
    cheers.

    im assuming paste them on your phone to use as wallpaper etc?? if that's all you want to do, you don't need an app for that... when you find an image you like touch and hold for 3 or 4 sec. a dialogue box will appear asking you if you want to save the image, email it, etc... select save and it will appear in its own folder under photos as "saved images or photos"...
    hope it help

  • Why "LCD color management and conversion" appears to be defective?

    Why? How to fix it?

    Apparently "LCD color management and conversion" is the profile that's associated (through the operating system) with your monitor.
    The error message is because the color profile named "LCD color management and conversion" likely really is defective.  Profiles are complex things and are not always properly crafted.  This problem is surprisingly common.
    Click Start, then type color management into the search box.
    When Color Management comes up, click it.
    Click the Devices tab to see or change what profile is associated with your monitor.
    How did you end up with that profile associated with your monitor?  The windows default is to use sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Did you profile your display with a color measurement device?  Did it get installed with your monitor?

  • Images (and image folders) in the same folder as Lightroom Catalog?

    I'm just switching over from Aperture 3 to Lightroom 4.  I'm wondering if its ok (or smart) to keep the images (and image subfolders) in the same folder that the Lightroom.lrcat and Previews files are kept in.  I'm trying to better organize my Pictures folder so that there are a whole bunch of separate sub-folders.  Thoughts?

    In Lightroom, there is no specific location where the photos should go. You can put them wherever you want, based upon your storage needs and hard drive setup.
    So, with regards to your specific question, yes you can put the photos in the same folder as where the .lrcat is located, I can't see any harm, but I also don't think you need to do the work to make that happen. You can pretty much leave your photos where they are (which is easier and less time consuming) than moving them to the .lrcat folder, and easier and less time consuming than moving them at all.
    In fact, I strongly suggest you change your thought processes from "Where do I put my photos" to "How can I organize my photos". Now that you are a Lightroom user, you organize your photos from within Lightroom, not by moving them here to there, but by adding keywords and other metadata. Organizing, now that you are LR user, is not folders ... it is metadata. Searching, now that you are a LR user, is not done in your operating system and in folders, it is done in LR by searching for keywords and other metadata.

    trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.
