Thank you so much for uploading it.
Despite only using sRGB all the way through, when I save my file from photoshop (or directly from lightroom) into jpg, its color space seems to get freaky. In win7, the thumbnails in explorer look way oversaturated. When opening with windows photo viewer, all colors are fine. Then, once I upload to dA, the color space goes back to the oversaturated version. The only way to prevent this on dA is to make sure the image doesn't shrink from its original resolution. So, if I upload the 600x600 version of the image, its colors turn out fine. But if I upload a 3000x2000 image, it will need to be shrinked and thus be oversaturated. Only the full-view image will appear normal. Also if uploaded to facebook or flickr, the color is spot on. It only seems to be dA that does this.
I seem to be the odd one out here, in that none of the solutions work for me and I only use sRGB. I have calibrated my monitor and I really don't see how it can be a monitor or browser issue, since flickr and facebook, and even deviantart can load the colors normally as long as it doesn't shrink the image. I don't know what to do. I can always just upload tiny versions of my images, but god that is sad. I always thought some people might like to go through a 21MP image to see the detail and whatnot, but what's the point if it ruins the image even on the thumbnail so nobody even goes to view it?!
One final note, I've compared saving images in different color spaces, and find that saving in AdobeRGB actually makes the image look like the oversaturated version - the color is exactly the same. So it seems that for some reason, my image sometimes registers as AdobeRGB and sometimes as sRGB? This development leaves me no less confused and frustrated o.o Any help would be appreciated as you seem like you know about these things, but feel free to ignore the whole post, I'm sure I'll work it out one day. Thanks for reading as far as you have ^^
From what I've understood, you have a color problem when you shrink the image. But it's when you shrink it on DA only?
I think you have to take a step by step approach to find what is the problem.
First, you must try to see if you have saved the jpg with color space embebbed or not. Maybe you are embedding a color space inside the jpg without noticing.
Second, you must see if you are working on the image in RGB and not other weird color spaces (I suppose not, but sometime you never known
Third, you can try to watch in photoshop your color settings: maybe you have set it to embed AdobeRGB or other color spaces without saying to you (disabled dialogs), so when you save you save to the wrong format.
Fourth, download and open the "wrong color" image from web to photoshop, and see what color space it have.
IF it's all ok, maybe you have found the "wrong step" in the work.
Hope it can help you find the problem.
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial. I've checked about this for long time and I couldn't figure out clearly like this time.
I'm currently a Mac user and the problem I've faced is my painting looks darker comparing to my Dell laptop. When I compare the same work on both screens, I can see the colour within dark tone look more dull and grey on Dell, while on the Mac everything looks contrast and more hue. I'm not sure that it will be fine this time but I will try painting on my Mac again by following your instruction here.
