However, wouldn't it be logical that the browsers will only use the sRGB colour space, hence you may not see differences. In PS you'll have the benefit of the AdobeRGB as set as your default. Sometimes the sRGB version may look quite similar, but I think it depends on how much of the original is out of gamut when the colour space is changed. I see radical shifts in saturated blues and greens, for example when applying the lesser (sRGB) colour space Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Philippe Orlent Sent: Thursday, 2 November 2006 06:46 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] FOR THE AMERICAN COUSINS. :-) OK Ted, Thanks for that. Really. I didn't expect your reply since I was a bit afraid you'd take it badly, and you would be right in a way: who am I to suggest something on the work of one of the true masters on this list? First things first: I think that you saved your images in Adobe RGB and put them on the web like that. It at least seemed so when I saved your jpegs on my desktop and opened them in my PS CS2, where I have Adobe RGB as default setting, and I didn't get a warning of changing of color space (which I also set as default). This can give strange surprises, since the web 'standard' is sRGB. The result was that opening them in PS gave different color and contrast representation on my screen: suddenly both images appeared as I suggested in my reply to your initial mail. This is a problem on the web: what the sender sees on his screen and esteems to be as he wants it, does not necesseraly appears like that on a viewer's (even calibrated) screen. So the best bet is to choose sRGB as color space for your web presentations, I think. Secondly, I had a little go on both versions of your shot. Just some dodging and burning, and a slight color correction on the colored version. I can only hope that you'll like them: BW: http://tinyurl.com/yy3wya Color: http://tinyurl.com/y5aznn Almost no difference when looked at via your browser, I think, but clear differences when both opened in PS. Which is strange... Can anybody elaborate on that? Is there any information loss or color shift when seen via a web browser (in my case Safari)?
