Converting RAW to WEB	Can't Post

Hi

I've shot a small job on Saturday and would like to post some pictures for client to view online (through ifp3.com).

When I convert my RAW Files (after adjusting them) to JPEGS (500 max pixels on the widest side, 72dpi, sRGB) my colors are way off and not as saturdated when I post them to the web, then actually should look (how they were corrected in Adobe Lightroom).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Best

If you are converting the profile properly, you may still need to compensate for the colour space shift by running colour/contrast filters. As part of my workflow, I oversaturate/oversharpen and run a high contrast filter to make up for going to the web format.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yeah, I"m converting profiles to sRGB to place pixs onto the web.

Would you mind sharing what kind of settings you are using for your filters when you convert?

Adjust colour to taste with curves in R, G, B, maybe bump up the black point, probably after conversion. Before conversion push sharpening to the limit in unsharp mask, somewhere between 100-250, 0.6, 0 - 1 threshold, after conversion run unsharp at 10, 100 pixels,0 threshold which bumps up the contrast. I find that I can get good results detouring to LAB for sharpening/ contrasting just before the move to srgb.
