I just uploaded a colorfull photo for a challenge and as im looking at it the color is TOTALLY off!
Im looking at the webpage and my photo in Photoshop on the same monitor and they are 2 completely different colors of green.
Anyone know why?
The specific color i want i have in Photoshop but the color of my challenge submission is unacceptable.

Make sure you save your file in sRGB color gamut.

Take a look at this tutorial, specifically the section titled "Convert To sRGB Color Space" and then post back here if you have any questions.

Also, it's typically not necessary to bump a thread after just 10 minutes. The purpose of bumping is to call attention to a thread if it's fallen off the front page; that usually takes at least an hour.

Go back into PhotoShop with your picture loaded up. Click View | Proof Setup | Monitor RGB.

If the colors changed at all... chances are pretty good that what they changed to more closely matches what you see on DPC. Now, leaving that mode enabled, adjust your colors in photoshop to match what you *want* them to look like. Then re-upload to DPC. I think that will fix it for you... if not, let us know what happens along the way.

Thank you for the replys>
I will try to get it to work.
And thanks ClubJuggle, and I am aware of what a bump is, and it did fall off the page.
