Title: ICC Profiles and washed out photos
Post by: mfarley on May 30, 2011, 01:19:53 PM
Anyone encounter washed out photos when trying to view your photos on a browser?  This was the first time I noticed this but all this morning I spent comparing photos I uploaded to the ones I edited in Aperture and they're completely washed out.  This is using the Chrome browser.

After a bit of research it looks like if you don't force the jpg file to sRGB then Safari is the only browser that will use the ColorSync ICC profile attached to the image.  And low and behold if I open them in Safari they match the Aperture image.  So now I had to delete all the photos I just uploaded and re-save them as sRGB and now am uploading the images and it appears this is correcting the issue.

I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this.  Here is a link to a LOT of information on the topic.
