Not sure why I have this problem, but it only happens with IE8...

ColourProblem.jpg


The correct versions of the photographs are the ones which are on the right hand side (red ones). These are saved from Photoshop correctly and exported as a JPG, I resize them in a freeware third party application (FSViewer) for quickness and then upload them to my server. Now the images are displayed correctly on the computer screen, google chrome, firefox and even IE6, but IE8 likes to add a nice blue to the image lol.

The only fix I have found for this is quite simple but I don't know why it fixes it. You simply open the image in question into Microsoft Paint and click save.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

interesting..

i cannot replicate your problem with IE8.0.7600.16385 and FF3.5.7.

youre not running compatibility mode in IE8 are you? as far as i know there are no options in IE8 that would cause it to render images differently?
 
I'm not mate. I've just asked someone else and on their machine it appears blue using chrome.

This is quite a unusual one lol.
 
out of interest to rule out a few things.. upload without resizing, do the resizing in PS.. try comparing between FF and IE. unfortunately i hate chrome so i cant do a comparison test in that.
 
looks like a chrome fail...?

Off-color remarks
Here's what's keeping me an active Firefox user, though: Chrome's lack of support for color profiles.

Most images on the Web are encoded with a color scheme called sRGB, but there are others out there including AdobeRGB and Microsoft's scRGB that can show a much broader range of colors. I'm a photography buff with an eensy-weensy photo business, so I prefer images to look as good as possible on the Web.

Apple's Safari was the pioneer for color management, and Firefox added color profile support with version 3.0 if users manually enable it. With version 3.1, Firefox applies color profiles for images that have been tagged with one. As a result, images on my high-gamut monitor at home look fine in Firefox, but in Chrome they're hideously garish and oversaturated. It's a showstopper for me when I'm doing anything photo-related on the Web.

I recognize my color preference is at odds with Google's performance push. Mozilla programmers found that supporting color profiles slowed Firefox 20 percent to 30 percent, though they reduced that number 4 percent to 5 percent with testing. Eventually, to get it lower, they went with a third way, applying color profiles only for tagged images, which caused only a 1 percent performance hit.

But Google hasn't even gotten to the stage of evaluating performance effects. "I don't see how any sites could depend on this feature if it's missing/disabled for 90 percent of users," said Chrome Program Manager Mark Larson in a response to a request to add color management to Chrome, referring to the fact that color management is missing in Internet Explorer and not enabled yet in mainstream Firefox. "I'm all for it, but it's definitely not a release priority."

Ive got a feeling it may be something to do with the file you're saving and the way it's saving the JPEG.

Care to send me one, and I'll have a little play?

marcel @ talk etc :)
 
I think it's FastStone doing it.

Change the options to save JPEG(YCBCR) instead of JPEG (RGB) :)
 
Sorry, i've just only had a chance to reply.

Thanks for all the responses. It seems like it was FastStones doing. I've changed the save option as what Marcel suggested and it now works a treat.

Unsure why it worked on some computers and not others lol.

Glad you found the cause of your issue. Maybe you want to change the title of the thread now? "Why FastStone Fails" would seem appropriate.
