carbonara 1

Fusilli carbonara with Boccolone pancetta, made by Steve. It's one of the dishes he makes somewhat frequently. This one was processed in Lightroom, and Flickr seems to have dulled the colors quite a bit on both versions. (I replaced this one with a more saturated one, but it's still different from how it looked in Lightroom.) Anyway, I think I prefer Lightroom to Aperture 2 so far. I'm trying both for 30 days anyway. (Both of the files are jpgs, taken before I tried shooting RAW.)

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Out of curiosity, what's your camera's colorspace set to? Dulling or too-vivid colors are usually a colorspace issue. And, unfortunately, a large number of cameras I've had neither embed a colorspace by default, and default to using a narrower colorspace than you might like.

It's a bit of a religious issue what colorspaces to use, but I've found that if I want to take images with my camera and both print and upload them to flickr, I get best consistent results if I set the camera to Adobe RGB, my photoshop and Aperture lightspace to Adobe RGB, and deal with colorspace conversion only if printing or producing an sRGB image for uploading.

Thanks, I figured that was the problem, but I wasn't sure how it all worked. My camera was on sRGB by default, so I just switched it to Adobe RGB. Lightroom was set on Adobe RGB by default, but the last time I replaced this picture with another version, I exported in sRGB to see if there would be a difference. I take it Flickr and other printing programs prefer sRGB?

I'll have to find something to take a picture of and run another test to see if the new tactic helps.

Well, most printing programs will also need a profile for your printer, but your more likely to get decent results.

If someone is just looking at things, sRGB is pretty good profile (and it seems to be what most things assume by default), since most monitors aren't too far from sRGB.

I'll got some nice calibration images I'll find and send you. They're nice, especially if printing, because you can compare the original picture to the version on your screen and your printer and they should all match.

Cool. I did a test (didn't bother making it public), exporting both ways from an image I took with the Adobe RGB setting on the camera, and the sRGB one definitely looked better on Flickr.

I don't do a whole lot of printing, especially since we don't have a photo printer, but it would be fun to look at the calibration images.

I believe most browsers (aside from Safari on OSX) ignore the colorspace information in images and either interpret them as sRGB or direct LCD colorspace.
