  Hey guys and gals,

  I am a photographer and I have a wordpress site. More and more I’ve been noticing how dull and faded images turn out when I upload them to my wordpress. Before people jump to the conclusion that is how I compress them and yada yada… I would like to point out that I upload the exact same JPEG to 5 or so photo sites and the WordPress one is the only one that turns out faded. It’s like all the reds, yellows and oranges turn out grey/brown. I spoke to another photographer friend of mine and he is stressed about the exact same issue. I feel like until I sought it out I don’t want to send people to my photography website as I dont feel the images give a true representation of what I made….

  Let me give you examples…. So here is the image on my wordpress

  Then the EXACT SAME IMAGE uploaded to smugmug, a photo hosting site.

  I use sRGB colour, colour calibrated photo monitor and loads of other colour techniques. I even print lots of my images with them turning out like I see them in Photoshop and like the 2nd example I posted here from Smugmug.

  What could be the issued with WordPress making the images all muggy brown like that ???

  Is not on a WordPress.COM blog – you probably need to ask for help at WordPress.ORG
