Title: Dreamstime's preview image sharpening!
Post by: Gregor909 on May 30, 2008, 14:08

Hi folks,
Can I have your opinion please!

What's wrong with Dreamstime's preview images?
I think there is way too much sharpening!
See the difference between StockXpert and DT. I uploaded the exact same JPG to both sites.

Did you upload an Adobe RGB file?  DT is believed not to convert preview images to sRGB, hence the difference in colors.
As for their sharpening, I rather like it, in many cases I find reasonably sharp preview images more appealing.

Wow! That really changes the look and feel of your image, doesn't it? :-\

Thanks for the replies!
So they want sRGB? I hate it when I have extra work for all the different stock sites! I didn't noticed it before, but for some reason it looks butt-ugly on this particular image!
