  I am having a problem with a color shift in my images since 2.7. My images have a blue/purple cast.

  I was wondering if there is a suggested profile that is best used on wordpress when dealing with photographs.

  I am using ProPhoto RGB

  But wondered if it would be better to use either
  Adobe RGB (1998)
  or
  sRGB

  Please let me know if anyone has any advice or suggestions to avoid the color shift problem.

  According to staff, sRGB is better:

  But in general, images resized by the wp uploader lose some color and sharpness. You should either link to the real-size originals, or upload copies scaled down in an image editing application instead of letting the uploader do the resizing.
