I wanted to share some pics I took this morning of bees on our Silver Leaf Maple tree. I noticed that when I posted the photo I notice that the richness of colors is missing from the posted photo. I am working from an iMac which I know has a bright screen. I exported and converted to jpg files with LR. When I view the JPG file on the iMac using the Mac preview app is looks fine. The UHH preview does not. What am I doing wrong here?

Here is an example.

Thanks for your help,

You need to use sRGB when you post. If you do not the image will be dull after UHH creates the thumbnail. The original is untouched.

This is one of UHH dirty secrets (there are more)
