    Resized JPG comes out reddish

    ac361 Community Member

      Hi. A user in our organization is producing JPGs from his PSD files on the Mac from CS5. The files are uploaded and processed via a Java web app that resizes them and stores their location on the database. Some of the JPGs, when resized via the Java code, come out with a reddish tint to them.

       

      Here's an original image: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PNCWWD01.jpg

      Here's the resized one: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PABDFC01__1289231445291.jpg

       

      I've been pulling my hair to see why this one image has the issue but others work fine. Anyone know why this might be happening? What would cause an image to have this red color overlaying it?

          The server-side image processor might be choking on some meta data in the file. Try using the Save for Web function in Photoshop to exclude this meta data.

           

          EDIT: the converted image also lacks a color profile while sRGB is associated with the original. The image processor may not be able to handle color profiles. Save for Web can also exclude color profile data. Before uploading, be sure to convert the image to sRGB if it is not already.

            Believe it or not, the issue had to do with the Progressive setting in the Save for Web & Devices. Once I toggled that on, the file was processed fine. Why, I don't know. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.
