Just wondering why some of my pictures that i post on my web come out darker..

at the moment all are in JPEG,,, should i change them all to GIF..??

Makes no difference mate ..... you can probably compress JPEG files ... more ... and usually, JPEG fies are more commonly used !

so any idea why the published pic is darker than the souorce..

I'm @ work at the mo .... just published the MK meet ..... I'll give you a hand with it later this evening .. when I get in !

Read the MK meet thread .... cheers !

will have to be about 9pm as im training straight from work..

One possible reason is that maybe the original pictures are using colours that aren't "web safe". In photoshop you can try and save the pics. using a web palette (under image>mode>indexed colour) to see if that makes a difference to how the picture looks in a browser.

i am usingthe Save for Web option shahid,, wouldnt that optimise the pics

I've just realised I've been talking bull as JPEGs keep all colour information (unlike GIFs).

I'm out of my depth here now I'm afraid.

lol if only the picture was schizophrenic , then your be able help..lol

Hi mate,

Not sure if this is right, but if you are re-sizing the images for the web. It might slightly alter the colouring as the pixel rate changes.

I don't know if this is accurate, but would make sense..sort of

photos should be in JPG format.. these hold millions of colours.. GIF format is for drawn images, buttons, animations and only have 256 colours.

so guildline is

photos -> JPG
Web made images, special effects, animations -> gif or PNG

ta

it seems that some are darker and some are fine so i'll have to see whyyyyyyy
