Lately when I've been uploading to the web, it seems my photos are only being read as having 256 colors. For example, I would touch up and resize a photo like normal in CS3, "save as" as a JPEG at 8 or 10 quality, then upload to photobucket. It would all look normal in CS3, just how I wanted it to look. After uploading to photobucket, there is a noticeable loss of quality - namely desaturated colors. I clicked "save for web" to see if I could sort anything out, and the photo changed to the desaturated look I got from uploading to Photobucket. I uploaded to flickr also, with the same results, so Photobucket isn't the culprit. I made sure my color profile was set to sRGB while converting from RAW, and while saving in CS3. Any help would be appreciated, I'm really stumped here :confused:

Ack this is weird. Everything looks how it should in Safari, but wrong in Firefox. I enabled color management in Firefox and it still didn't help. I really don't want to give up Firefox :oops:

So, in this case Firefox assumes sRGB, Safari assumes monitor profile (stupid).
I assume your monitor is quite different from sRGB, and that is the difference you are seeing.

It seems everything sorted itself out with a restart of my computer. Firefox now displays everything how it should with color management enabled.

Though I'm wondering why sRGB isn't embedded, it should be :confused:
