Hi all

When I view a photo on my PC the colours are fine but when I uploaded to the Jan08 competition folder, it desaturated big time.

I posted a comment saying I would provide a link to flickr assuming the photo would be ok but its not,its losing colour when I upload to flickr as well??

any ideas?

Its never happened to me before

PS: it was a RAW image developed using Lightroom and resaved as a JPEG and uploaded.

regards
John

John, I'm not familiar with Lightroom however, I tend to get that effect when I use some of the programs native to Linux after I've converted them using Bibble Pro. I don't get it when I u/l to Flickr or anywhere, though. Shoot a link to your Flickr shot. Let's have a look at it.

Hey guys

I fixed it

Lightroom was saving as the default colour space of ProPhotoRGB instead of sRGB!

Phew!

thanks for everyones help though.
