hey guys,
I'm looking to submit to a current challenge ending tonight, and the gradients in my photo are completely off when I upload the shot. they are find on my screen, and get all messed up (as if the file was 50kb!!) upon upload. I'm maxed out on jpg quality for the 300kb limit..
Any suggestions? This is driving me nuts.
ETA: the gradients just look completely digitized and disgusting.

Try opening the file from your hard drive using the same browser as you're using to view it online and see what it looks like then. If it's "messed up" then, you probably have a color profile or color space problem, nothing to do with DPC or the upload process.
If it looks fine that way, try uploading it to your Workshop folder and PM me a link to it and I'll see if I can tell what's going on. |

aha, you hit the nail on the head. very interesting indeed - photo looks like poo in both firefox and chrome, but good in IE. So I'm assuming when you say it's a colour profile problem it would only appear this way on my computer
thanks for the quick reply, by the way |

I think the problem is that you have a profile embedded in the image which your editing software and IE "handle" properly, but the other browsers don't. Or maybe it's the other way around ... but one way or another, the look will be browser-based; I don't think it will be unique to your computer. Sorry, but color-management is not really my forte ...
You can still put it in your workshop, and I can look at it with older versions of IE and Firefox, and maybe Safari, and see what happens. |
