Who do you think does the best job converting our images for web view? I made these screen grabs to compare the differences.

I think I like SS the best. Colour is close to the original and image is sharper. IS and LO are more saturated while 123 and StockXpert look flat. I know it will look different on everyone's monitor. I was just curious to see what you guys think?

I always prefer higher color saturation levels so I like LO and IS.
This posting reminds me of the Kodacrome vs. Velvia debates back in the day (I was/am a Velvia man myself).

Interesting feedback. It might be neat to see the differences across different types of images. These images had a lot of red.

well - i'll be darned - i had no clue there were such differences in the previews... learn something new every day!

hopefully it isn't happening to the actual images... right?

I've noticed differences, but thought it was varying power levels from my generator. But now you mention it, I think I like Featurepics colors and definition best.

LOL.... It took me a minute to remember that you live on a boat! (Don't you?)

Bryan is this happening to the actual images? I figured it was just the previews.

Thanks Maunger for the blue comparison.

You should try looking at your pics sometime on a dodgy CRT monitor, some of them look positively awful. I've tried to show friends at work (back when I was working another job that is) on an office computer - definitely not a way to impress!
