photo.net portfolio: looks different than my file?

I've been updating my portfolio, and noticed that many of my photos seem washed-out and have less

contrast compared to my files and printed photos. I don't remember this problem in the past. Has anyone

noticed a change in the look of their photos?

Do I need to change them and upload for proper presentation? It seems I'll have to go back and change

the brightness and contrast for most of the photos. Is it me, or is this a real phenomena?

thanks,

Scott

Scott, if your images are larger than the default display dimension established by PN, they are

resized and recompressed (with a hard JPG hit). Best thing is to size them appropriately

yourself, apply the proper compression, and not take the hit from PN.

It sounds like you may be using AdobeRGB color space. Convert to sRGB before uploading to see if that corrects the problem.

Richard brings up what is most often the cause of a post like yours Scott. Dennis brings up what is the 2nd most often the cause. Though it's pretty far back compared to the sRGB issue.

 

I'd say you got some good answers from some helpful members.

Thanks,

I'll try using sRGB and see if that helps (I did use the recommended dimensions). I guess the

reason I posted this topic is because I thought the look of my photos has changed. When I

first posted them last year I remember them looking better.
