Took this today as the cloud cover was heavy and hail was about to start.

Thanks, UUglypher!

I wouldn't even have tried the first picture, but it came out great, with both details in the leaves and the clouds, with wonderful placement around the frame!

Thanks CHG_CANON

I am still experimenting a lot with my new mirrorless, but sometimes I do get pictures with perfect focus all across the frame. I was afraid maybe I had darkened this one just a little too much, it came out darker when I uploaded it here. But I do like those kinds of pictures at times, to set a mood.

The differences for what is posted is the colorspace. To assure the JPEG shared elsewhere is consistent with your edited version you see locally on you monitor, you need to use the sRGB colorspace into the output JPEG.

This is very interesting. I send my best pictures to stock agencies and a few years ago they were rejecting some of them because they were not in sRGB. I couldn't figure it out because I hadn't changed anything. I finally came to the conclusion that it was because I was using certain presets in Lightroom. I quit using them and had no further problem. Now with my new camera I am getting this feedback again, and I am not using any presets. I think it might have to do with the section of Photoshop under the normal button which I have used lately. If not I have no idea what is happening because I never change my settings in this matter.

If you have any ideas on this I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks

The first image was created by PhotoShop, not by Lightroom. If you'd return your image to Lightroom and LR Export the image, and select the sRGB colorspace, that would eliminate the non sRGB colorspace problem.

If you'd create an LR Export Preset specific to the recommended resizing parameters for UHH, link below, you could create a 1-click automation that always creates sRGB JPEGs, an Export preset that applies to all your images within LR without regard to camera, etc. Once you get the hang of one LR export preset, you can create more that contain any subtle / unique changes that define the unique need of the new preset, again always including the sRGB colorspace setting.

Recommended resizing parameters for digital images

When you use LR Export presets, you don't have to re-invent the wheel for every single image. Rather, everything is done repeatedly and consistently to all images that are created by that export preset. If you put some thought into the target output folder, you can also assure your images are consistently placed on disk. If you create multiple presents, each might output to their own locations, helping to isolate different purpose exports. You might also rename your files, such as adding an '-LR' suffix, so you can look at an image and know it came out of LR rather than possibly an original file.

Thanks Canon, this is good information.

As far as LR vs PS, most of my pictures start in LR, but occasionally they don't, if I am rereviewing older folder. This one done in PS may have used the "normal" button in PS and I think that might be creating a problem, although I don't know how it could.

Anyway, I will check out the info you sent me and take a look at this. I would really like to get to the bottom of this as it has puzzled me for years. Once I stopped using presets in LR the problem stopped, until recently. The problem now seems to have more to do with PS than LR. Very curious, but this is very useful information you have given me.

Thanks

Gene - you asked about colorspace for this image on an unrelated thread. When interested in the colorspace of the image, you need to check the properties of the image file. Shown in this screen capture, the image was created by PhotoShop and the colorspace is not sRGB.

Have you created an LR export as suggested? Have you used that LR export to create a JPEG in sRGB? If you create a reply and attached that new JPEG, can you see the difference in the resulting thumbnail on UHH?

Even more confused. While the file was processed, first in LR but then further processing in Photoshop, it automatically saves the file both in PS and in LR. I was looking at the color space in LR because on the page I was looking at it shows how to discover the sRGB in LR. It said sRGB. Now I have to find out how to get that information in PS.

Thanks, Gene

Okay, now I see it in PS. But I noticed it says, PNG file, don't know why and down below is checked, convert to sRGB, so I would think it would do that. I've got a lot to learn.
