Photos look diff in Mac vs PC--HELP!!!

I'm having an issue with photos looking amazing on my iMac but on PC or iPhone they look terrible! Like skin tones are green or yellow. This only happens about 5-10% of time. I don't know if it's my workflow or actions I'm using or I need a monitor calibration? My prints come out pretty good from WHCC.
Suggestions?
My workflow is: RAW sRGB--> LR (which is 16bit in ProPhoto)-->Photo, Edit in CS5-->I Save As in photoshop as sRGB w/ Embedded profile checked at bottom.
I'm wondering if I should just hit Save in PS and go back into LR then export there?
Thank you for your responses, I really appreciate any help

but on PC or iPhone they look terrible!
In which application on the PC/Windows computer?
Is it color managed or not?

Are you converting to sRGB or assigning? If you assigning that could be part of the problem.

I recently updated my iphone software and now I can't upload photos from iphone to mac computer. Help please.

I recently updated my iphone software and now I can't upload photos from iphone to mac computer. Help please.

The following link has 2 methods for importing photos to a Mac (not counting Photo Stream). Are you using iPhoto or Image Capture? If you follow the steps in the link for that method, what exactly happens that doesn't allow the upload? iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Unable to view and upload photos from iphone into mac. Please help

All of a sudden, I find that the iphone photos donot open up and import to iphoto. iphone 4s with iphoto 11. Any ideas, please. Thank you

What happens when you try?

How can I upload photos to photo stream from my Mac

Hi, I need to know how to upload photos to photo stream from my Mac, can you help me, thanks.

Select the photos in iPhoto that you wish to add to photostream, use the share option in the bottom right of the window and choose photostream from the menu that appears.

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Hello Partii,
It sounds like you may use a POP account for your email. With a POP account, email applications like Mail and Outlook can remove emails from the server, so when another device tries to check the server for new emails, it doesn't see any.
You may need to adjust settings in Outlook so that the emails are not removed from the server when downloaded. I found an article with more information:
When using a POP email account with multiple devices, email messages may only appear on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server once an email client has received it. You can configure your email client (or clients) either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your Inbox.
I recommend reviewing the full article for steps on adjusting these settings; you can find the full article here:

Photos look great on a MAC. and not so great on a PC. why?

the subject says it all.
my photos look perfect on a MAC(safari and firefox). when i view my photos on a PC(explorer and firefox), they look dark, over saturated, and sometimes out of focus! can somebody tell me why this happens ? can this be fixed? its not the monitor because i've looked at the site on several machines.
any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I look at you site with safari on the mac and ie on the pc side and see so difference.
If you are accessing with ie on the mac, it's not going to work. very outdated.
On the pc side make sure it's the latest version and java is enabled.
again, it look the same to me.
good luck

I recently used an external hard drive to back up photos etc from my mac, I didn't do a full system back up. Since then a finder window titled 'client node' keeps popping up every time i hit the spacebar. Can anyone help me please stop this happening?

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Photos look different (bad) when placed in InDesign CS4

I'm having a problem in that my photos look bad when viewed in InDesign. I labor on my photos until they're looking perfect in Photoshop -- with just the right color balance and tonalities -- but when I place them in ID, they look much darker and redder, or oversaturated. Then I look at them again in Photoshop, and they look fine. What gives? Which program is showing the real state of the photo? Btw, the photos are using the same color profile in both programs and the monitor is unchanged b/w viewings.
I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what I can do about this? It makes me very nervous to see my photos looking so bad in InDesign, where I prepare my layouts for offset printing. Will they print as I see them in Photoshop or will they print as I see them in InDesign (which would be dreadful)? At this point I'm hesitant to make further adjustments and hoping it's the Photoshop view that's correct.
But why is this happening in the first place? Is there some setting I should be fixing? Or is there a color issue or incompatiblity b/w Photoshop and InDesign that I'm unaware of?
I'm using ID and Photoshop CS4 on Mac OSX 10.4.11
Hope someone out there can help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Scarlett

There's a discrepancy in the way Photoshop and ID display images on the screen. I wasn't aware of this before.
If your display performance is set at High Quality there's no significant difference in the way color is displayed between PS and ID. The screen capture linked below shows a CMYK file with no profile assigned, side by side in ID and PS. The ID file has no profile assigned and the CMYK Working Spaces are the same for both programs:
http://www.zenodesign.com/scripts/IDPS.png
You can check the RGB values of the screen capture in Photoshop and there is virtually no difference—I could only find an occasional 1 gray level in 1 channel shift.
If you are seeing a color change with a High Quality display setting then chances are you have a color management issue.
Syncing your Color Settings doesn't guarantee matching color between the programs because you are just syncing the program's Working Spaces, and they don't necessarily color manage the documents (assigned profiles override the Working Space). If you are assigning profiles in PS, the assigned profiles need to match your ID doc's assigned profile (which could be different then the ID Working Space)

Aperture make photos look bad!

Hello,
I use the import and i have all photos in a library,
I click on a picture in the film strip the photo looks great for a few seconds. and it has a loading icon at the top of the preview picture then after its done the photo looks muddy crappy ect...
It does this for all pic in the film strip.
I was hoping uninstalling the program anf reinstalling it would help but it does not.
I also used anouther mac pro with apature on it and it DID not do a thing to the photos, and the photos look just like what i took.
Thanks Ralph

Ralph, have you imported "Raw" images? What you are describing is very typical for Aperture creating new thumbnails and previews from the raw images, when it is loading the image for editing. Unitil you try to edit the image file, Aperture may be using the camera generated preview, that is showing all processing done by the camera, but the raw will not include any camera processing.
Have a look at this thread for a discussion of the differences between camera generated previews and Aperture's previews.

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

How do I make my photos look better?

Hi Guys for making your picture brighter there are several adjustments which you have to make , i'll give you a walkthrough step by step. make sure all adjustments depends on your choice and satisfaction.
1. : Adjust the Levels slightly - Not much otherwise it will increase high tones in the picture. Shortcur [Ctrl + L], play with last slider in that window.
2. Adjust the curve to balcnce the tones whose values are now increased. Shortcut (Ctrl + M)
3. Adjust brightness in image Menu, make sure while adjusting brightness you take care of Contrast and Sharpness just to make picture lively not flat.
That's the major things you have to take care of, apart from this there are multiple ways which depends on user.
In case of any issue please reply or message me.
