Hello to all. This is my first post here.

Recently i noticed that my images at istock are slightly more yellow (warmer) than originals, and images on shutterstock are greenish. Now i know that istock is converting preview images to srgb color space. All my images are handled *and uploaded* in sRGB color space.

However there is always difference beetwen them.

This only applie to the preview images. Originals when downloaded looks fine.

I'm using sRGB color working space in photoshop and all files are converted to working space when loaded. Default color space on bridge is sRGB as well. Display monitor was calibrated for sRGB two weeks ago. Monitor is DELL AH-IPS P2414H

Don't have any other problems with colors, printed material is matching onscreen colors.

Any advice on this one ?

Cheers.

When you save your images for upload, are you embedding profile information?

Yes of course. That is why i'm confused. Proof view is turned off. Working space is set to sRGB , color space policies are set to convert to working space. When saving as JPG , ICC PROFILE is checked.

Oh yea, all our images are produced/shot at adobe RGB color profile, but later on when selected for postproduction converted to srgb.

Does anyone else have similar problem ? i would appreciate if you could post me any of yours previews of the same image from shutterstock and istock.

So, i am going to ask you same question, what is the correct colour profile to save the photos for the stock industry? What is the colour space in which you upload the photos to the stock agencies? Adobe RGB or srgb?
I have a big dilemma here...

thanks!
