how to

[dinorock]

how do i get what im looking at in adobe to look the same as on the web when i add my pics to a thread they seem a bit washed out is this to do with reduceing the size :bang::bang::bang:

unless you are concerned about retaining the exif data in your web versions, try using the 'save for web' option rather than the more normal 'save' or 'save as' - that usually sorts the issue unless you are running adobe in an unusual colour profile, not sRGB.

[dinorock]

just changed adobe to srgb but it still looks better than the web page still confused

Are you quite sure it's not just how it interacts with the background?

[dinorock]

Ha, another one like me who just calls the son when confused, then I get "Dad I have shown you umpteen times how to do this" but after a while of not doing what he explained I just forget :thinking: sometimes it is all gobbledydooke to me making the tv settings and remote control seem a doddle:D

[Cobra]

but i still havnt managed to correct the colour do you think it looks washed out

Not particually, as I said at the start a little sharpen & levels boost should do it a 2 minute edit

[dinorock]

on the right adobe on the left internet
http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/data/1978/DSC7486.jpg now do you see what i mean

[Cobra]

Yep I see what you mean
What does the edited image I posted look like to you?

[dinorock]

exactly the same as the imported original

[Cobra]

The last image I posted is not "that far out" even though it was a quick edit with some room for improvement
TBH it might be your monitor settings or your editing software settings
Thats a little outta my league though

[dinorock]

im going to try again with the same pic later i think i made an error in the early stages thanks for your help cobra most informative and at least i know how to get my pics into a thread now he he (watch this space!!!!):clap::clap::clap:
