Why do the colors in my RGB image change when uploading to the web?

I'm editing my image within Photoshop & have worked with it being RGB from the very start. I place the saved image in Dropbox so I can access it from my phone to place on all my social media accounts. Once I got  to upload the image on the web to my social accounts the colors completely change becoming dull & drab, it looks nothing like the image I saved. Been racking my brain on how to fix this but haven't had a solution that worked yet. Suggestions?

Hi Danippo13,
check out this video which explains very well the difference between different color profiles Visualizing Color Profiles on Vimeo and remember that the web uses "standard RGB - 72 dpi".
I will recommend this setting  in Edit Menu> Color Settings

  • Colors in parade do not change when I move the Temperature slider.

    I am trying to do the speed grade tutorial, but the color does not change when I move the temperature slider.

    It might be nice to know which "issue" of Sg you're using.There have been issues where the colors "lag" while using a slider/control, but typically when you let "up" on the control, the adjustment is "there". From your comment, am I correct in assuming that the controls simply don't do anything even after you've moved them? And of course ... when you "move" them, you do see the indicator on the slider-line move, right?

  • White color of RGB image changes when exporting to CMYK PDF

    I'm used to work as long as possible in RGB. Even my images placed in InDesign stay in RGB. I only convert to CMYK while exporting to PDF. This always worked fine. I now noticed that RGB images with a white background changed in the CMYK PDF.
    The white wasn't white any more, but C=1/M=1/Y=1/K=0 !
    Result is a very light-grey background when printed on an offset press.
    If I convert the image to CMYK in Photoshop first, I don't have this problem. I always thought InDesign and Photoshop used the same conversion-tool? Guess not ...
    I didn't have this problem in CS2, I think. So my guess is it got something to do with CS3, but I'm not sure.
    Someone got an idea?
    I use Adobe creative Suite CS3 5.0.4
    Mac Os 10.5.5
    Color Management is set to European Prepress (I already tried to change this --> no effect)

    I've noticed that there are slight variations between Photoshop and ID, but I think it's just a rounding error. Photoshop's CMYK readouts are always integers, while ID swatches can readout numbers. So obviously it's possible to output 1.67% cyan, but Photoshop's info readout rounds that up to 2%. Try making an 253|253|253 RGB swatch in ID, then open Swatch Options and convert the swatch mode to CMYK. You'll get a conversion something like .78|.39|.39|0 depending on your profiles, yet the Separation Preview reads out 1|0|0|0 with the total ink as 2%.

  • Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

    When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution.  I am not even able to select the proper resolution.  
    I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM).   When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution.   When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution.  I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well.   Does anyone have any insight into this?

  • Image Blurs When Uploaded to the Web

    Hi there. Recently did a banner for a friends Etsy page. The image is fine and not blurry at all until its put online. Here it is here http://www.etsy.com/shop/roseandpetal
    Ive tried saving it as a JPEG and a PNG-24 in the 'save for web' part of illustrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hm. Sounds like you selected some bad compression in Save For Web (JPEG/Lowest, possibly?). But that still doesn't explain extreme blurryness -- it doesn't happen to me. It almost looks like you exported the image, then decided it was too small and resized it with another application.
    ... If you're happy with this screenshot you made, you could use it instead.

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

  • How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

    I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
    My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?".  This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline.  I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline.  They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes.  I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
    The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ?  Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
    After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips.  They are in their original state.
    Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, that is what the problem was.
    Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
    for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps.  Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Hello, I have includes a Web link in an image. When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me? Thank you.

    Hello,
    I have includes a Web link in an image.
    When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me?
    Thank you.

    No version of Pages will allow images to be links. We always got around this by bracketting the image with text and making the link in that.
    Pages 5 has lost the ability to have cross links in pdfs and seems to have a bug that disables any links after the first page.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

    THE FORM HAs (extend features to acrobat reader). THE FORM WAS DISTRIBUTED.
    NON OF MY EMPOYEES CAN SEE THE IMAGES. WHAT'S WRONG? CAN YOU HELP?

    However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.

  • Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

    "Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
    I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
    While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

    For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
    Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
    Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
    Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
    Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
    Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
    Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
    In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
    Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
    With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
    Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
    Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
    Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
    When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
    With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
    Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

    Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

    I haven't missed any point, but you don't get it.
    If people take "Send as SMS" being turned off as the iPhone shoiuld not be sending SMS messages without reading this text that is included below the option:
    Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    They are idiots.
    But you're saying you have this other piece of information that tells you that this option only applies to two iphones exchanging txt.  Where did you obtain such information?
    Copied from my previous post.
    Under the Send as SMS option, the following is available:
    Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    You should check available text below an option such as this so you know what it does.

  • HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

    Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

    Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
    I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
    It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.
