After I edit and export my images from Lightroom 5, they look fine on my computer folder. However, when I upload them online to PASS (online gallery) or social media sites like Facebook and Instagram, they are warmer, more saturated. I've noticed this the last 6 months. What could be the cause of this? I am using the Srgb colorspace. My monitor is calibrated. I am using windows 10 pro, Ge force gtx 960. I used fastStone and they lookperfect. But I beleive the change happens when they are uploaded online.
I calibrated just a few weeks ago and it hasn't helped. The images are fine on my monitor when I am viewing locally, but, I notice the change when I upload them to any online platform (pass, social media, email.... They appear different on my monitor after that point and on my phone, I've even looked at them from another computer and other phones and they appear just as bad, warm and saturated. My best guess is when it hits online that causes the issues I am seeing.
I am using google chrome. I use PASS, email, Facebook and instagram. All of them show the very warm/saturated look that does not appear on Lightroom or when I export to my local file folders.
I don't use Chrome, but as long as it is (or configured to be) fully color managed, it should display identically to Lightroom. Perhaps you have a defective monitor profile that Lightroom chokes on, but the others accept.
OTOH an application that isn't color managed doesn't use the monitor profile, and will display differently (incorrectly). That's expected.
