Improving Mindat.orgColour difference in uploaded photo
22nd Feb 2017 00:54 UTCNiels Brouwer
In this screenshot you can clearly see the differences side by side: on the right is the final image in Photoshop, on the left you see a thumbnail of the png image file in Finder, and in the middle is the image after I uploaded it to Mindat (https://www.mindat.org/photo-805432.html).
I always try to get the colours as close to the original as I can, so this was quite a spanner in the works. The colours of the baryte have become a lot flatter and have shifted more towards a yellowy brown rather than orange.
I'm sure we can rule out any monitor differences, as the screenshot clearly shows them beside each other on the very same screen. When I uploaded the same file to my personal website I had no problems at all. Any ideas what might have caused the issue on Mindat, and more importantly, how I can avoid this? Or is it something that has to be fixed here first?

The only benefit I can see in this is that someone else could download the original to edit it without introducing visible artefacts.
But many would see this as a drawback.
