Ephemeral Carpet

gawdessness from Canada

I love the word ephemeral, and I love the fleeting nature of this carpet and the extra lines and textures of the bars of the fence to keep us out.
Recently I configured my monitor to show colours so that they were more true to life and I find raw images to be less sharp and sometimes more washed out or more intense than jpeg which is what flickr uses - have no idea if this helps you at all.

This is SO pretty. I was just taking pictures of the "pink snow" myself today. :)

As for your color problem, what's the difference that you're seeing? Is it just for this photo, or is this something you've noticed for a while?

One thing you could try, to start, is to go under View -> Proof Setup. I have mine set to Monitor RGB and things look pretty much as they will when I view them in a web browser. I kind of doubt that will fix your problem, but it's worth looking at.

Every now and then I have a problem with the web version looking duller than what I see in Photoshop, but it only happens, like, 1% of the time. I think it's something to do with the color space difference between Photoshop and web browsers and that every now and then I post a photo that hits that area of the color space that doesn't get represented faithfully. The rest of the time all is well. So... I have no idea!

If you figure it out, please let us know!

Lovely photo, whether the color is true or not. The untrained eye does not care.
