I had a table and lights set up today, to photograph a bunch of stuff for insurance records, and figured I'd fuck around a little. Decided that the old-school Olympus stuff would make a kinda cool subject, so I started taking stupid macro stuff.

Tell me what you think, I know they're not great. My background's in PJ/sports, not artistic stuff, so I'm just learning this end of the business.

I'm using the Nikon AF-D 24-85 f/2.8, by the way. Bought it because it was fast, but I see why the more artistic people don't like it as much, the bokeh pretty much blows.

OK, I'm having a pain in the ass here. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the fuck 4chan does to images. I spend ages tweaking color and levels and such in photoshop, but when I upload the images, everything gets all washed out and loses the color that I was shooting for to begin with. Anybody got any idea how to do this? I thought I'd heard that 4chan uses S-RGB, as opposed to the Adobe RGB that my camera and CS2 use, is there any way to correct for this in PS before I upload it and find out the hard way?

Yes, that's the problem.
I'm no expert in photoshop but try to go to Edit -> convert to profile, the select the s-rgb from the drop menu box.

Ah, so that's where it is.

I suppose I really need to pick up a Photoshop book and work my way through it. Wonder if I can still find a CS2 version, I haven't gotten my Mac copy of CS3 yet.

Testing the same as the last image with conversions to see if it's any better.

Damnit, I think it's something in the saving process. Even after switching profiles and re-tweaking, it still looks the same here. Would JPEG medium cause the color loss?

the second pipe appears slightly lighter on my web browser (firefox v3) although that might be your other edits as opposed to colour space.

Come to think of it, maybe I should try looking on another computer. I'd be pretty pissed if I realized that it was my computer (I'm on FF3 as well, but Mac), and nobody else was seeing things look as crappy as I think they're coming out.

It's just driving me crazy. Something looks good in the viewfinder, good if I stick my CF card in the PS3 (I use it as an image browser since I can see things blown up huge, and it loads big images really fast), good in Preview, awesome after tweaks in Photoshop, than suddenly like crap as soon as it gets online where other people can see it.
