My photo turned lighter with the upload as you can see trees and on my screen in PS, its pure black. weird.. Do you know why that is? I did save "Save for web" jpeg. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

Depends on what color space you used (sRGB? aRGB?) and did you convert to sRGB prior to upload? Did this come from a Mac or PC? "Save for web" strips EXIF data from the file, so I can't tell much from what's here.

Michele · 12-09-2005

PC..... I think it was RGB. I just re-opened the photo and didn't assign any profile, color to it as you are asked when opening a save to web photo and I looked and it looks to be RGB. Under color settings I have it set to Adobe RGB.

I have a question that came to mind as I was looking for this answer. Under view, proof set up, what option should you chose: working ----- (a list), Macintosh RGB, Windows RGB, or Monitor RGB??

Thanks..

ohenry · 12-09-2005

I wasn't even thinking. You downloaded the picture from here and it was in sRGB, so unless you changed it, it stayed in sRGB. Not sure why it appears lighter after uploading.

Normally, you would just turn off proof settings. Only time I use them is when I set the proof settings to my printer ICC to give me an idea of what it should look like printed on my printer.

Michele · 12-09-2005

nop.. i didn't even think to change the settings from s to adobe. so its still at srgb.

how do you turn off the settings

Michele · 12-09-2005

what happens if you leave them on? i have been looking to see how to turn them off, but can't figure it out. does it interfere with your editing?

ohenry · 12-09-2005

If you leave them turned, then you're editing in whatever ICC profile you have selected in the proof setup...which may or may not be the optimum

Michele · 12-09-2005

But under proof setup, one has to be marked, so what do i do there?

It doesn't matter if "Proof Colors" is unchecked. Unless you're specifically checking your image against a calibrated proof ICC, then just check monitor rgb and don't worry about it. You're getting into the realm of color management that involves calibration of your monitor and printer. We should probably take this conversation to another thread, or you can PM me and I'll see if I can help you further.

Michele · 12-09-2005

Thank you Ohenry.. Yes, I do calibrate my monitor and have in the past calibrated my printer along with it, but its been so long that I just didn't remember off hand and I don't calibrate my printer anymore, but still do my monitor every 2 weeks.

Thank you again. I really appreciate it and your time!!

Excellent entries by everyone. I had a very difficult decision chosing only one. In the end, Michele's version floating off in the space captured my imagination. So, without further ado.....Michele...on to challenge 26.

Well done to everyone!!!!!

PhotoJoeMaelstrom · 12-12-2005

Congrats Michele...Well Done I take my hat off to you! Er.....it's ok that I don't wear them right?LOL

Michele · 12-12-2005

WOW!! This is a nice surprise.. What do I do from here?* I know I have to do something about chosing a photo. I will go find directions on this game.

Thank you!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

You start a new thread, submit a photo, define the rules that YOU want, then select the one you like best at the end of the period (you decide how long it lasts -- most have been running about a week, but when we first started it was MUCH shorter to force people to work quickly and get their submission in)

How do I post the larger image?

The way I do it is to upload the file to my website on a hidden page, then just reference it with <url></url> codes (where <> is [ ])

Well done Mchele

I am sorry, but I don't have a clue on how to do that.
