Saturation on Photo Uploads


 
 
I can't figure out why saturation is so bad, changing to srgb mode in photoshop does not help, anyone have any clues? I tried to change the mode and then uploaded the new picture in srgb and it did not change at all. Any Help would be appreciated especially since all my prints come back fine, with no color correction added by the labs.

Thanks!!

  I looked at some of your images and to me they appear a bit flat. Seems a little boost in contrast would help a lot. Use a RGB curve in Adobe Photoshop and setup a little S curve and you will see your images pop out! A little is all it takes! You can also use the curves to saturate the colors from the Red, Green, Blue curve channel. But try the RGB curve first for more contrast. They alone may be enough for your taste.

  I already take do curves in photoshop and boost the contrast and saturation, its just when it uploads to betterphoto they appear flat and uncontrasty. On my screen and when they are printed out by pro labs they come back great. It's just when I upload them they don't look very appealing. Thanks for the response and the recommendation!!

thanks again

  Instead of saturation, boost the brightness and contrast a bit, then as your last step, use the "Unsharp Mask".

Use Adobe RGB.
