    Preparing images for this site.

    Why do my pics in this thread
    http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...ad.php?t=29005
    Display they way they do when posted on this site.
    All files display quite clear and sharp in Photoshop and image viewer etc but once posted here the backgrounds in particular look like crap.
    I realise it all has to do with the way I am processing the image so what is "the go" ???
    Is it more a case that this effect is more pronounced for pics with plain backgrounds with tonal variations. this doesn;t seem to happen on images with "busier" backgrounds.

    Please help me.
    CC always welcome and appreciated.
    Tweaks welcome but please add how and why.

    Can't see the exif data - but first guess is colour space. You must use sRGB when publishing to the web.

    Actually use "save for web" in Photoshop so would expect that is would save in sRGB.
    I'll check to make sure that is the case.

    Checked the profile on these pics and they are sRGB.
    What else could it be or what am I doing wrong during processing?
    Original files are 12Mb JPEG, worked, then "saved as" reduced image size to 1000x667.
    From the smaller file size it then gets "saved to web" with file size of 200kb.

    What do you mean by 'crap', looking at that thread, some have really nice background, others look a bit textured, so without knowing what you refer to as 'crap' makes it even harder to assist.
