Pixture perfekt

Thanks for the responses to my photo hosting test. It seems that a few of you had slight issues seeing both pictures. In those cases, it seemed related less than if it were a hosting issue and more like it might have been a function of the viewing style or LJ page structure. It also seems that the Comcast flakiness since the last time I had pictures in my LJ is nowhere near as widespread as it was. Strange, but hopeful I think.

Now, a couple of you pointed out differences in the two pictures. I was not expecting this. On my screen, it seems that the Flickr-hosted pic is darker. The file hosted on Comcast is unaltered from what I have on my own hard drive. Flickr does apply some conversions in size of displayed photos, but in this case, I am displaying it in it's native resolution. Only thing I can think of is that some variations must get applied once the file is uploaded, possibly including web color space or gamut rules. Those more familiar with such matters probably know more of this than I do, or I might just be babbling outta my butt. Any insights?

Thanks again!

Hey handsome! How would I do that in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro? Somewhere in the JPG or PNG settings?

First do Edit - Convert to Profile and see what your profile currently is. If it's not sRGB then convert it.

Then when you save it you should see a checkbox for Embed Color Profile.

If you're already sRGB, though, then it won't make a difference.
