Uploaded photos changing color??

Whenever I upload an image it seems to change color/saturation. How do I prevent this from happening? Trying to upload numerous photography shots across my website Smiley Sad

Could it be the labtop I am using? I have posted these pics before after I edited them, but now they have been transfered to a new harddrive and I am uploading them from my new computer!

Try opening the image on your new laptop, then exporting and saving it as a new PNG/JPG file, then uploading that new file.

Are you uploading this to a standard image element or as a header image? A few of our themes apply an overlay to header area background images to darken them up.

Thank you! Apparently the theme I am using is doing a blue-ish overlay in pictures used as themes. The odd thing is that previously there was no blue-ish effects. I there any way of turn off the blue overlay?

Hi, @prguima.

Which site in your account are you seeing that with?

Hey

It was silly. It was an overlay I turn it on without realizing it.

Hi, I did all of the mentioned above and mine still are having issue with colour. Especially the black everything looks washed out.

Can you post a sample pic and a link to the same pic on your site so we can take a look? Thanks so much!

Mine are RGB and PNG format and it's still doing it. I've tried on several computers, I've tried each way that everyone is suggesting and it's still like this. I'm a photographer so image quality is the most important part of my website... I'd love if Weebly would fix this issue. It happens in my blog and on each page of my site - gallery, header, slideshow, etc.

Hi @mandyholiman Can you post a sample image and link the page on your website that it looks different on? Thanks so much!

Yup, here's 2 examples. The second one isn't actually on my site but one of the same person/outfit/edit is so you can see the difference in the greens and oranges. Both are on my website at: http://www.mandyholimanphotography.com/senior-portraits.html

Thanks for the examples, @mandyholiman. I'm having a hard time spotting the difference with the top picture, though I can see a difference in color with a different picture of the girl from the second photo. Are the original images in RGB color?

I too was having this same issue with my photos, but I ended up solving it myself!
As it turns out, Weebly's photo uploader does not recognize the ProPhotoRGB color space, but when I re-saved my photos under the Adobe 1998 color space the problem was fixed! Now I just have to go back and painstakingly re-save my entire portfolio under Adobe 1998...uggh...fun.

Note to Weebly engineers: You should probably expand the color space to ProPhotoRGB and maybe overhaul your photo uploader if you want to keep some of us photographers around...just saying...

The same thing happened to me, I tried all the other suggestions and your fix was the only one that worked. I had to change the color profile in photoshop and set me view to proof in internet standard colors so I could see how it would look when uploaded and adjust accordingly. I am still not thrilled with my image, it doesn't have the same punch as before but its useable now. 

Thank you for the fix. I agree this seems like something that weebly should fix, when Facebook which is free has a better quality photo upload than a paid website it really makes me think I should start looking for a new web host.

This worked for me! Saved as a PNG and the issue is gone!

Hi all. We are about a year late to this thread. However, I am also having the same issue. I have been trying to upload a picture to my webpage and the image is turning blue. Has the problem been fixed? I have tried all of the above ways to solve this problem and have not had any luck.

Is this a header background image, @ljones?
