How comes each time I upload a picture, this picture became a lot lighter than the original one that I upload. Well I dunno if this is a color setting in photoshop or somehting ... anyone can help me ?

Yes, thats what im using... My camera is set to sRGB and my photoshop too...

But I figured that in the color setting (in photoshop) menu I can choose " Monitor RGB-iMac " instead of "sRGB" maybe this is the problem cause I got a Mac... do I need to choose this first option ? or let it on sRGB ?

thks

It should be in sRGB before you upload it. I haven't used a Mac in 20 years so I can't help you there. my wife had a problem like this when converting her raw images in photoshop it was defaulting to adobe RGB. are you shooting in raw or jpeg?

The only idea i have is if you are converting in photoshop make sure it is not changing to adobe like it was with my wife. I use the canon converter and it defaults to the mode I shot it in.
