Yellow Casting when Uploading to Web

I have some photos I just uploaded to smugmug, and they took on a definite yellow cast. I tried similar uploads to flickr, but the same thing happened. Yellow Cast.

The cast is not there in LR, or in the jpeg I exported from lightroom. I tried both sRGB and Prophoto RGB, with the same results.

I have never seen this before. Thoughts?

Can we see them?

It could be your browser, but you need to post examples. Maybe take screen shots and post them side by side, along with details of your setup, OS, etc.

Okay here is the screen grab....

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Redirected to error image by FLICKR

Considering your grab and image look different, you definitely have profile issues. Check the stickies on how to properly calibrate your screen and programs.

Strange. They look exactly the same to me. Maybe I am going blind (? )

The screen grab shot looks very good to me . The posted pic looks desaturated and a slight blue cast. Is your monitor Calibrated? I guess I don't know which one is the way you see on your screen?

They both look the same to me too, but neither looks like the LR2 original. I had my wife look at them side by side, and she said "that one is yellow!"

I have a new spyder on order, but this isn't a profile issue. Its a "uploaded and color shifted" issue.

What would cause that?

You're looking at the screen capture direct and at the posted picture with your browser. And that's your problem - color management in your browser, probably.

The only difference between the two pictures you posted is the bottom one is slightly less bright.

Proof? OK, let's pixel-peep.

I loaded both into my picture editor (Paint Shop Pro) - note that I'm using the same program to view them both.

I used the eyedropper to get color values. These were taken on the inverted "V" eave above the doorway at the right (RGB values):

Top: 225, 221, 221 (white with a very slight red cast)
Bottom: 215, 211, 212

225 / 215 = 1.047.

If I multiply the bottom RGB values by 1.047 to simulate an exactly identical exposure, I get:

225, 221, 222. An identical color within .5% blue. (Actually, this varies slightly from pixel to pixel when reading colors and means nothing.)

Well that slight difference is probably due to the monitor/display profile (???)

color management in my browser...... hmmm....... now that has promise....

Nope. Sometimes "nothing" means "nothing".

and here is the posted picture

What web browser are you using?

On my calibrated monitor the two look massively different. Not just brightness, its over saturated in one and desaturated in the other, never mind the colour shifts.

Possibly a monitor calibration problem, or not being applied somehow?

Safari. I switched to firefox, and they looked improvedly better.

If thats a word.
