Title: browers desaturation
Post by: hippy Green on May 27, 2007, 07:11:21 pm

Hi There

I not sure if this right place for this....

I am developing website for photographer and when I up load the photos to the website and view them a web browsers it desaturates the photos 10% to 15%. But when you view then in PS they are correct??? (the working color space is adobe 1998 RGB)

so to get them correct saturation in the browers I have to add 10% to 15% saturation

has any one come across this before when uploading there photos on to the web?

Cheers

Damian

Anything for the web has to be converted to sRGB if you want stuff to look remotely correct...

Most browsers do not honor the color space and assume srgb.

Yep, but I would use Adobe ACE not Apple's CMM in the conversion...

No problem. This question has been asked time and time again on the web since 1998 when I first got into digital imaging and desktop publishing and began surfing the web.

I imagine it will continue to be asked.

As previously stated sRGB at 72 dpi is the correct way to process images for the web.  You will also have to play with JPEG compression so that when the image displays it looks good but does not take up too much bandwidth. i.e. slow loading for large image files.  A image will display correctly at 300 dpi but will take up a lot of bandwidth for no apparent gain in quality.

Keep in mind that folks viewing the images have their monitors set all over the place; mostly the factory default settings.  Just get the images to look good as they will look different on different monitors.
