Uploading photos
I am new to BetterPhoto and find that I am losing color saturation when uploading. I have read the upload hiints, size etc. and am following that. My work is digital. Any further advise?Janet

I've heard that if you size your photo to no more than 480 on the short size it might help. I personally haven't run into this problem, but I know others who have. I'll try to send them to answer your question...

Occasionally I run into this problem as well but I don't know why it happens. I had an awful problem with softness until it was explained to me to size them at 480 pixels on the short size to compensate for the border, as Diane has already said. That can't be emphasized enough. It makes a big difference.

Sizing to 480 on the short side definitely improves sharpness. I've found that I lose saturation mostly on photos with a lot of green in them. I haven't figured out a good way to avoid this, but I'm working on it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.... Pam

I am so frustrated! I seem to lose the deepness of my blues. And as stated above get a green cast. I am uploading two pictures. The first one the histogram is perfect, the photo looks great on my monitor and it prints the same. Uploaded it looks washed out with loss of color. The second one I pushed into the levels beyond the histogram. I just and it looks dark on my monitor but I wanted to see how it uploads.

The blue looks fine on both of these shots to me. The second one is maybe a little darker. I'm using a Mac, so maybe the colors look different on my screen. I actually seem to have the opposite problem. My blues turn out fine, not green at all, but my deep greens get washed out (just lose saturation). I wonder how much it depends on what computer you view them on.... It seems like they should look the same after uploading when viewed on the same computer, though. Pam

Hi Pam, I thought about that. I work on a MAC but edit my photos on a Lacie. I work split. I even recalibrated by Display to match my Lacie to make sure that both were the same. My green wash out too. I went in on my laptop at work to see what that looked like and it was washed out too. I will keep playing with it and let you know what I come up with.....Janet
