Colors changing after upload

February 16th, 2011
For some reason, I will upload photos and the colors change. For example, today's photo:


Same photo uploaded to flickr:


The color on the flickr version is accurate, while this one is not. Why does this happen, and how can I change that? (It even looks better on facebook than it does here.)

I posted a very similar question today and have since found the answer. I don't know if your colour problem is the same, but my colour changed too after uploading to this site. For me, I fixed the problem by changing my colour format to sRBG. not sure if this helps :(

@laurentye are you referring to the color format of your camera?

@cdaniels yes I am :)
I did some investigating in the discussion boards and found that that was the problem. so now I am going to convert my photos to sRBG in elements. @emptyspaces explained it a bit in the comments in my most recent pic (feb15), which helped me to understand. the color in my picture from that day looks much better since re-uploading it after converting to sRBG. Hope you are able to fix your color in your sunset pics. I know how disappointing it is when the color changes once on this site.
