Color Issue With TPF

[smoke665]

Recently if I post an image on TPF, then try to view on my monitor it looks a little desaturated. if I view the same image from another device it looks fine. If I post the same image to FB then view the image on my monitor it's fine. the only time it looks desaturated is when I view my TPF image on my monitor. Color profile setting?? Has me scratching my head as to what changed over the last few days.

Revision to my problem. It appears there are differences on all web sites, not just TPF. The image I see in PS looks great. Good color, saturation, but when I post it to a web site, then look at it, it appears flat and slightly washed out. The same image when viewed on other devices looks the same as my PS image.

I know it has to be a color profile image but I can't seem to find where it needs to be changed. Windows did an update about 3 weeks ago, and I calibrated the monitor about two weeks . Help!!!!

What's the ICC tag (color space) on the image?

Joe

Edit: and what web browser?

sRGB, and tried it on Explorer and Google. Here's one that I just posted a little while ago. Can you give me feedback on if it looks flat? The Harvest Looks great on my android tablet and phone. Good reds, vivid colors.

Pay attention to the chroma subsampling of the jpeg when you create the file. They are not all equal.
I think most if not all color images these days are over saturated anyways and look artificial, so some desaturation is a good thing.

@Ysarex I think I might have found some of the problem (viewing angle on the monitor). Apparently viewing angle has more of an effect on web pages then on PS. Went ahead and posted the image again here, as I forgot you might not want to check a link. Please let me know if the image looks desaturated

Image certainly does not look desaturated -- quite the contrary, the red channel is pretty completely blown. It is tagged sRGB and so I have the same view of it in PS and Firefox. In IE it's a little yellow compared to the others. That's a known Windows fault however. I'll investigate further. More info please: how was it processed? Camera JPEG, raw in LR, etc. I notice much of the EXIF data is missing and that makes me suspicious that the photo was mangled once it left your computer.

Here's a screen shot of the image in PS and Firefox displayed side by side. They're the same.

@Ysarex Thanks for the feedback Joe. More information. Disregard the flash did not fire. There was a flash and it did fire. Not sure why it does that.

File-Raw, processed in CC2016. My intent was to push the exposure to the max. If I'm reading the histograms correct it's right on the line, but not quite blown. Now I may have tweaked it to much in PS to make it that way.

As to OP the problem appears to be more a case of monitor alignment. I'm on the road on a lap top, and forgot to adjust it correctly.

Edit: After seeing your clip, went back to file, and think the image would benefit from a slight decrease in saturation. Thanks for the help.

It is slightly oversaturated to be honest. The highlights even have a bit of blue cast to them.

When you processed the raw in PS were you working in the ProPhoto color space? I assume you were and then converted to sRGB for the display image. That conversion down from ProPhoto to sRGB can cause the red channel to blow.

Yes I was. Thanks for the tip, didn't know that.
