First off, I'd like to explain why I posted this in photography. Thing is I have this problem during post-processing which only affects my photographs and I have a feeling that one of you may know how I could solve this. The problem is that if I preview a picture Ive taken in photoshop it looks fine, just as it should be. When I save it (maxed out settings on jpg or tif - it doesnt matter since they look the same for me anyways) and try to preview it using the windows preview thingy it looks HORRID. It looks like someone has applied a color burn to it, kinda the way that REALLY really REALLY low quality jpegs turn out. It looks the same if I try to upload it on the net. Now here's the weird part, on my dad's comp it looks completely fine web / preview version of exactly the same photograph. If I try to reopen the photograph on my own comp in photoshop it looks completely fine just as it should but during preview / web it looks crazy. Im super confused on this matter considering if it were my screen that was going bad then it wouldn't look acceptable in photoshop either x__x Please if anybody knows how I could fix this I'd be incredibly grateful


Also, please tell me how this photo beneath looks like. Does it look normal or not? By not normal I mean that you'd be seeing the green separation on his cheeks.

Thank you guys beforehand


EDIT* Okay guys... 5 hours of fiddling later and I solved my problem. It seems windows 7 thinks that "21.5" monitor rgb" is an appropriate color profile instead of adobe (1998). I changed the color profile and now everything's working fine and dandy. Sorry for spamming the forum I guess anybody who doesn't know about color profiles and uses W7 is gonna view this photo horribly

might be that the viewer you use doesn't have the colour the picture has just a random idea ;/

but i don't see any discolouring on his cheeks thow, might also be ur screen that is a little burned

Hm, good point. It would certainly explain it for the windows preview thing however the webbrowser (ff 3.6) is exactly the same installment as on my dads comp so that shouldnt make a difference.

glad i could help ;D

haha was just about to ask if you use adobe rgb on camera and other profile on computer. anyway, you shouldnt use adobe rgb on either unless you do some printing with every machine matching on the color profile. sRGB is the universal color profile, put that on the camera and computer instead

SatanicRGB

I'm not sure why you were having this problem, I just set up a Windows 7 computer and I saw nothing like that. : /
