Desaturation of images

[Peter Knight]

I don't have screengrabs right now but I was uploading several staff photos this evening. Has anyone experienced an issue whereby uploaded (drag and drop) images become desaturated slightly?

It's quite subtle but noticeable enough when viewed side by side with original image.

What has happened to me is that photos that como straight from a camera, specially a DSRL, sometimes have Pro Photo RGB or some kind of fancy color profile that when viewed in browser, it tends to look desaturated. You could check this by opening you photos in Photoshop and check for the color profile.

I had this issue once with a client site for a photographer. It turned out to be a color profile issue, like mentioned by elabx.

Converting images to sRGB before upload solved it for me.
