Hi, i just noticed this issue, I don't know why my image looks darker here, when i open my image with infraview looks normal, like in PS. But after i upload it looks darker here.

Anyone knows how to fix that?

This is my current settings:

Color setting:

Mode:

Proof setup:

Save for web settings:

Hmm, not sure

Are all images you upload doing this? (Like these ones you posted)
Is the image in the same size you uploaded it, or did the forum size it down?
Can you post a comparison - screenshot the one on the forum and the one in PS. (If the upload of the comparison also messes up the colors, up it on some hosting site.)
That said, you feel like trying to upload the same image to a hosting site and see if the problem is with only the forum, or with upload in general?

My bet is that the forum resized the picture and by doing so messed up the colors.

Curiously enough these images are fine.

I can see my image here and it's fine, so I uploaded to an other website and you can see the difference:

Forum:

External:

If you open both in separated tabs you can see the difference better by changing tabs, it's pretty significant.

@Iago_Cavalcante yes, I see that. I'm sorry I'm not of more help, but I am as clueless as you about why it's doing it.
If no one else has any ideas, the only options that I can think of is either saving in another format (like jpg) or, posting like this and also adding a link to an external site (be sure to write the reason in the post so the judges can see it).

May i upload the images "from web"? Than its all good.

@Iago_Cavalcante I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but you do need to upload the pictures on the forum.

When you click upload you can chose "upload from web" or "from my device", so when I upload from the web (external image site) the image looks fine.

Sorry for my English.

@Iago_Cavalcante I know Marc generally discourages it, but there's no rule against it and in your situation, I don't see why not.

(take this more as a personal opinion than official statement though, even though I'm pretty sure it will be okay)

I can aways upload 2 versions.

Thanks for the help. Maybe we will solve this in the future.

Hi @Iago_Cavalcante, the image compression on the site does seem to make some value ranges slightly darker, we'll check on our end if we can mitigate that. Feel free to post any version you want.

Thanks Marc, keep up the great work.
