Hi all, 

 

So I have encountered myterious issue on my recent photos. 
After uploading photos to pics-time / pixieset all my photos become cold. I have checked colour profiles and they all gave assigned profile sRGB so that should not be the issue. Can someone please suggest something else?

thanks!

Hi everyone!

 

Thanks both for your replies. 
I am actually ashamed to admit it, but the issue was gaming monitor. It had different colourway set up. Had to switch it to different settings and it worked. But not the Windows display settings, but for the monitor itself.

 

interesting part was - that they DID NOT change appearance with the new settings at all. 

Thanks again gents!

@janis_1097 if your images do have an embedded icc profile (sRGB) they they should be fine viewed online, to help more we'd need to know how and where you are uploading and how are you viewing them? 

 

I hope this helps

    Do the images have an embedded sRGB profile? If on opening, you are assigning an sRGB profile, it suggests not.
