  WordPress seems to be striping the SRGB profiles from my images. My jpeg photographs are correctly tagged in SRGB when leaving photoshop – but the profile is being stripped by WordPress during upload. This is less than ideal.

  Anyone have a work around?

  We can’t answer technical questions without a link to the blog, starting with http.

  My photographs are saved for Web in CS4 and tagged with SRGB.

  I can easily test what wordpress is doing by simply grabbing a photo from my blog after uploading it and opening it in photoshop – where the SRGB tag has been striped.

  @jholko it’s the image resizer on WordPress.com. Unfortunately it strips color profiles.

  Here’s a hack to work around it: edit the HTML of your post and remove the ‘width’ and ‘height’ attributes from the img tag.
