Sometimes it's just the website too......I know when I post something to DeviantART it looks different than everywhere else. Facebook has their own rendering, 500px has theirs, so on and so on

EDIT - In photoshop go to the view menu and then select "proof setup" then select "internet standard srgb". Now when viewing your image in photoshop you can press command+Y to toggle betweenthe colour space you are editing in and srgb. This might highlight the issue

EDIT 2 - if using a PC I think its Alt+Y

Did you try this?

Actually, I didn't. I forgot about this suggestion. I'll try this today.

Thanks everyone for your help. I didn't mean to hijack this thread...

from fredmiranda, high ISO dynamic range:

http://www.fredmiranda​.com/forum/topic/13811​25 (external link)

summary, much improved. My biggest fears of blacks turning into purple are gone. This is the sensor I've been wishing for, low iso that's strong as sony, and high iso that's strong as canon.

Very nice! Color looks better to my eyes throughout the entire range - nominally so at ISO 400 but increasingly with each step.

Improved high ISO and IBIS are the two factors most strongly pulling me towards the a7R II. Just got to keep looking and keep thinking to make my decision.

Yes!! This! I want Fujifilm's bodies and glass and Sony's sensor and video tech. Fuji's video tech is disappointing. I just wish I could use the Fujinon lenses on Sony's a6000...pity that Fuji glass doesn't adapt to any other platform at all. Nikon and Canon still have the leg up on full frame f/2.8 zoom glass.


I wouldnt be suprised if Fuji dont do a FF and/or MF digital soon. They have a pedigree in MF from the days of film and if they did a mirrorless in this format with a MF xtrans sensor Im in 100% sure of that!...Because they would also develop a comprehensive fujinon lens line for MF as they have done with the x series and that would be an unbelievable combination. Infact thta good a combo that I would actually seriously consider getting rid of all my canon gear and go exclusively Fuji if they did that !...........

Yeah the biggest leap in terms of high ISO IQ is in the minimization of chroma noise. You still have quite a bit of noise at higher ISO, but the impact to color fidelity is correspondingly very low. The noise that is present is less destructive....looks more like grain added to an image in PP for artistic purposes, and is far more manageable overall.

ISO 25,600:

ISO 20,000 (note, the grey plates surrounding the drivers have a grainy texture in real life. It looks like noise in the image, but that's how they actually look.)

It seems like they are pretty invested into their APS-C system though. I think their main argument for APS-C was lens size, at least in comparison to Sony's FF fast glass. Any idea how large and fast Fuji's 35mm and medium format lenses were? Surely if they made small and fast 35mm lenses before for film, they could do it again for digital? I know the Leica digital rangefinders are actually huge boxes compared to what everyone thinks they are.

I tried this, and I can see the difference between the two. However, when it's in sRGB mode, I can't get the car orange without screwing up the photo. I'll keep messing with it. Eventually, I'll figure it out.

To me that indicates a monitor calibration issue. Does your monitor have a calibration routine you can run? Failing that it would be one of those calibration tools but I've never used them. (I could be wrong here but its the same as what happened to me and that's what I done)
