Canon G10 images washed out when uploading to web?

<p>I recently took the G10 out for a trial run on vacation and I am a bit disappointed with the results. I shot all the images during the trip in JPG at Superfine level, usually at either 80/100 ISO since there was an ample amount of light when I was shooting. When I uploaded a few of the better pictures to the web without having made any color adjustments the colors look very washed out (images were uploaded to the National Geographic site where they want them right out of camera) -> gallery is here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/myshot/gallery/113934<br>

If anyone has experienced this or has any suggestions, I am all ears. I saw one similar complaint on amazon where someone who purchased the camera experienced issues with the washed out colors during uploading. Thanks.</p>

<p>depends a lot on the browser you're using.</p>

<p>or otherwise google 'web browser color managment'</p>

<p>I have not noticed this problem with the G10 , if they look ok on your computer , then I would think that its the Gamma settings on the website and not the camera. Many of my work photos,shot with all my cameras , look washed out when on our company website.</p>

<p>This is a frequent complaint regardless of camera. All the posters have the following in common: (1) shoot JPEG and (2) do not have calibrated monitors. In addition, every browser -- much less every monitor -- shows colors differently.</p>

<p>For best results, shoot RAW, calibrate your monitor, and maximize the photo for web viewing. The difference is very noticable. BTW, you have some nice shots there but the colors do look a little flat.</p>

<p>The behaviour you describe usually comes from loading images that use Adobe-RGB colorspace into a webserver without converting them to sRGB first. If your website wants images straight from the camera, you should set the camera to sRGB.</p>

<p>I agree they look a tad washed out, especially the first, but not all and not by much. Downsampling often darkens an image, so perhaps National Geographic boosts the gamma to counteract this.</p>

<p>I agree with Rainer T. Set the camera to use sRGB.</p>

<p>On my screen, your Nat Geo photos look pretty good. In my opinion, those colors are realistic.</p>

<p>No matter how many people agree with Rainer, the Canon G10 does not have a colorspace setting. I just downloaded the user manual. In JPEG mode it always produces pseudo sRGB.</p>
