I have two significant issues regarding color consistency and SmugMug.
The first involves viewing. It seems there is a color shift in my images after I upload them. I see this on both Firefox and Safari (Mac). I haven't had a chance to view them in IE yet, but the shift is a noticeable blue-green shift. Am I the only one to see this? Is there a simple fix?
Second, and this may relate to the first, regards printing. I proof-printed my first test print with SmugMug, and was disappointed with the color. I chose a difficult image to print, the focal point being a wet brick, with a saturated, brick red-orange color. The red came out weak on my prints, I tried all three finishes and the color was consistent across all three. I used the auto color-correct feature. I also tried a different image on canvas and the color seemed more true to the original. I will try a few other images to see if it is just the red. Is this a problem with the printing service? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
