Hi Mike, et al

Can I humbly ask what graphics toolkit you guys have used here on IIS? It seems that some of my images uploaded to it can be a little more harshly rendered than they are on other forums out there at the same time. I noticed it last night when I uploaded my B33 image - which was nice and smooth on my system at home and was too on a couple of other photography forums I frequent. Here it's a bit rougher... If you can tell me whether its standard ImageMagic or something else I could probably compensate and test it on my own forums before I upload appropriately. Just a question - definitely not a criticism, because the great majority of other posters' images look great!!!! :thumbsup:

The original image is uploaded as-is. ImageMagic is most likely used to create the thumbnail, but it shouldn't affect the rendering of the full-size image.

I've checked some of my own images just now, and they're exactly the same size and quality of the original.

Can you post a screenshot showing some examples? Or send them to me via email or something so I can follow it up if it genuinely appears to be a problem for some people.

Cheers

It's not a gamut issue is it Chris? Are you saving your images in sRGB or something else?

Hi Al - no it's not a local gamut issue. I can flick back and forth between tabs in my browser showing my image on IIS in full size and the same image posted to another forum at the same time - and there is definitely more harsh contrast in the one shown here. Wierd.
