question about colour format of images

February 15th, 2011
I think my problem has to do with my terrible technology skills, maybe someone knows the answer.
I've been frustrated with the colour of my images after uploading to this site. They look so much more washed out than what I see in iphoto and picnik. So i searched the discussion boards to find a solution, and I did find the answer (yay!) - convert to sRBG. so I did that and re-uploaded todays pic and it seemed to make a big difference.

But my question is this: Is there some way to convert it to sRBG from iphoto or picnik???

i do have photoshop elements but I'm not comfortable using it yet (hence why I've been sticking with iphoto and picnik) but I could only find the sRBG formatting in elements...sorry this question is so long.

i think I found the answer. now from what I understand, I can only change the format in my camera or in photoshop.

You got it. :) Changing color space in Photoshop can show a shift in colors, too, if the colors are out of gamut (the range of color) for the color space you choose.

@geniabeana thanks for your response! I'm happy I have figured out what to do about the colour issue, I was getting frustrated.
