Don't worry about it. Let's see what you got

Actually, the picture previous to that looks like it's from an Amish settlement. I'm no stranger to seeing Amish use tractors and such (of course, with wood and steel wheels) but never with a gas-powered weed whacker!

As of now I am going with this, where can I get a good quality host? Flickr made my picture look like pooh. No offence Jeshuas picture.

Contrast - A difference in lightness, brightness and/or hue between two colours that makes them more or less distinguishable

JeShUa · 05-13-2008, 06:46 PM

I like flickr.

arisenfury · 05-13-2008, 06:55 PM

Flickr doesn't mess with my pictures at all...

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-13-2008, 06:57 PM

I took the size of the picture all the way down to 600 on photoshop, and it didnt make the background all pixelated like that. But I upload it onto Flickr at 800 and it looks nasty

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-13-2008, 07:02 PM

Figured it out, my picture is pure win now!

arisenfury · 05-13-2008, 07:28 PM

My entry now... might do something similar again later at work with the shrubs and annuals that we got in blossom.

^nice one

Official entry

Me & Grandpa

Another lame one from me...

flickr

Anyone know anything about color space or why my photos look so much better when they are not in IE. In photoshop and my photo viewer they look great lots of contrast and bright colours. I upload them and they lose all of the pop?

Another one but I did some burning on this one. I like the angle better with the box in the background I'll reshoot it and paint it with the flashlight better so I don't have to photoshop it.

IDK but I have the same problem

What kind of surface is that in the pictures that is so glossy?

Rpm2 · 05-13-2008, 09:28 PM

Its a custom desk I built for my den. Just some almost black paint and a clear finish on top so it doesn't mark up.

truflip · 05-13-2008, 11:15 PM

Does it happen in FlickR?

JeShUa · 05-13-2008, 11:16 PM

I dont like that writing on the box. What does the bottom look like?

It does it to me in Flickr and Photobucket... not sure what setting is causing it.

Rpm2 · 05-13-2008, 11:25 PM

I just added the flickr one up and I think it looks worse. The blacks are so much darker in photoshop.

JeShUa · 05-13-2008, 11:28 PM

I dont see how you guys are seeing things with flickr. All of the images I search for seem fine.

Rpm2 · 05-13-2008, 11:35 PM

I don't think my problem is not the photo hosting sites I think it has something to do with the way IE manages the photos color space or doesn't manage it.

truflip · 05-13-2008, 11:46 PM

I'm using Firefox but I tried with IE. I can't see any difference in colours.
