Image colour

February 15th, 2012
for the last 2 days when I upload my image to 365 the colour of it changes...... does anyone know why? I have used lightroom but thats about the only difference to all my other pictures, it didn't matter yesterday but it has killed todays pic :( I have tried removing it and uploading again.

p.s 365 has been so slow with it's running and I also have to refresh every page anytime I want to comment :(

This is the most recent discussion about this issue: http://365project.org/discuss/general/11040/365project-color-matching

There is no easy answer, but I hope that helps. Lightroom can be tricky in regards to colour management, until you get used to how it operates.

@jinximages Thanks for that jinx, I also just realised that I normally use jpeg to shoot and switched to raw I might be doing something wrong when saving the raw file to jpeg.

I had this problem too, with Lightroom. It had to do with my settings on export. I fixed it by limiting the image size vs the file size.

if i paid to be on here, i'd complain, too.

seeing that i'm on here for free, i'm just going to complain that there is way too much traffic where i live and i'm really glad i don't own a gun

As in the other thread - make sure lightroom converts your image using the SRGB colour space. If it doesn't then you WILL have problems when publishing to the web as most browsers are not colour aware and assume your image to be SRGB.

Even if you do use a colour aware browser there is no guarantee that others will be so they won't see your image as you intended, and there is no guarantee that the web site you publish to will honour your colour information (I don't know if 365 Project does).

@harveyzone Hi sorry can you advise how to make sure lightroom is using SRGB? Thank you

@fungirlslim Hi Jen,
I only have an old version of Lightroom, and don't use it much any more, so I am not sure if it is the same in current versions, but the principle remains the same. When you export the developed file there is a file settings section in the export dialogue box in which can select the export format (jpg, tif etc) and the colourspace (AdobeRGB, sRGB etc).

Perhaps someone who uses a newer version can advise if this is still the case, or if there is a better way.
