Hello,

 

I have a second picture uploaded to the site, and expreience the same issue - an original photo on my pc and the same photo uploaded here loose some contrast, vibrance/saturation and even colors a bit (I assume after 1x compression) . I had to reupload the first picture, and exagerrate the colors/contrast/saturation higher than normal for it to look as an original one. It's strange, does enybody experience something like that? Perhaps I should upload in a different format from I do right now.? (jpg)

 

 


 

 

 

 

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex, I agree and I think this is a major issue that 1x must look into. I personally would never change anything on uploading here trying to guess how 1x will make my photo look like. But that is another story. You do as you choose. Since the new 1x has begun, I only uploaded one photo, it got published yesterday, In The House Of The Rising Sun. The difference is very obvious, lost of contrast, saturation and brightness as you describe compared to my original here on my computer. Of course, for those who will ask and bring this up, I already know about compression issues on many other platforms on the internet, so I do have references elsewhere. Facebook, my own website, 500px, Kavyar and other places where this particular image has been published before, yes using the same computer etc, all parameters same, including source of image.

I repeat, I agree with your analysis 100%. Curious to see what others have to say about to this.

Regards, Joe

Hi,

 

when you have edited your images you should pay attention to which colour space you have set. if you view your images in Adobe RGB and they are only displayed in sRGB on the 1x site, this results in a difference as you described.

Hello Stephan, please read my reply to Alex. I have very good knowlegde of colour spaces and follow all the specs on the internet well and I have other references on uploading my photos and my particular photo on several websites. Alex is not alone in what he states and I know that I for one did the correct colour space and have the same results as Alex. How do you explain this then?

Hey Stephan, thank you I'll look this up for sure. 

 

*Just checked, I have it as a sRGB in Adobe by default.

 

But would like to note, I haven't expreienced this problem on ther platforms (i.e Instagram and other various messengers with it's brutal image compression).

Hi,

 

I've also had the same issue whereby the uploaded image was somewhat less saturated than in its original form.

 

Please see below the image of Rebecca on 1x, vs the original image:

 

 
And the same as above, I've not experienced this issue on Instagram, Purpleport  or my own website etc...

你好,

 

我也遇到过同样的问题,上传的图像比原始形式的容易低。

 

请看下面的1倍Rebecca图像与原始图像:

 

 
和上面一样,我在 Instagram、Purpleport 或我自己的网站等上没有遇到过这个问题......

 

你的照片可能没有转换成 Srgb 格式,问好!

Hello, we replied in detail to all that above, please read the other messages. My photos are also the correct colour space, we know it is Srgb, but I have the same issues , faded colors and less contrast when uploaded. Jake is not alone reporting this issue and so far I see that we are all in the correct color space..so the problem is elsewhere and needs to be investigated

Hi all, not trying to be the smarty pants here, but did you already report this to [email protected] ?? Might be worth doing so. :-)

I did. Messaged support and bugs report emails.

I am facing the same problem with my uploads. There is a huge downfall in color vibrance/saturation when uploaded in 1x. Confused whether I should increase  vibrance unrealistically (which I donot like) in post processing & upload in 1x.

This has been discussed before.  Check the colour space that you are using.  Uploads to just about any web platform need to be converted to the sRGB colour space.  Any of the wider gamut colour spaces like Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, etc. will look flat and lack vibrance.  This is usually a browser colour management issue, not a site issue.

I have also experienced this problem which also affects the sharpness of the images when using SRGB

Consistently uploaded pictures now are desaturated, blurry and look poor. My images are sRGB as it is the default. When are they going to fix this problem? It seems like the site has become very buggy recently and nothing is getting fixed and its frustrating. Uploading on the desktop is still broken.

Di solito si tratta di un problema di gestione del colore del browser, non di un problema del sito.

I agree with Manfred, the problem in part is really in the browser, I for example, normally for the internet I use Firefox, but to visit photo sites and see photos with the most correct colors I use Google chrome.
