Color gets dull when I upload my pages

[mathildehart]

Hello.
When I upload my pages to tapas, the pages gets more grey. I have tried to upload both as a jpeg and png. I use RGB color, and I draw on a MacBook in the drawing program clip studio paint.
I can show you the difference here:

The first picture is from Tapas, the second picture is from Finder. As you can see, the second picture is more red than the first one, which is more dull and toned down.
I hope you can help.

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing a difference...

[mathildehart]

I just reuploaded it, try and refresh

[RobertBMarks]

Maybe it's the fact that my monitor is at a lower brightness setting, but I'm still not seeing any difference.

[mathildehart]

The one to the right is more red, if that can help you see it

[RobertBMarks]

Not on my monitor. This doesn't mean you're wrong, it just means that I can't see it on my setup.

[mathildehart]

Fair enough. But do you know how to solve my problem then?

[RobertBMarks]

Afraid not. If I can't even see your problem, there's no way I can diagnose it.

Usually colors get dull due to how a site compresses the file and it varies between sites.

Honestly, the difference isn't that noticeable at first glance and I'm on a MacBook Pro. Only when I took a second look I can see that the reds and greens are more saturated in one. I think your comic looks fine as is.

[mathildehart]

Yeah you're probable right, it's just me who's a perfectionist when it comes to drawings, cause I really think the second one looks a lot better​

Can you change the image properties? I use Krita which is probably a different app than what you use, but I've had this exact same problem before, and it could be solved by changing the image properties from 16-bit to 8-bit:

There could be a similar problem/solution with your app.

I have had similar issues especially in the thumbnail.

The middle is the original.
Left is what the thumbnail upload looked like.
Right is me over correcting in order for the thumbnail to come out correct after uploading.

I probably would not recommend over correcting your pages, seeing how most people might not even notice the difference. I do understand the frustration of art coming out dull after uploading. But I think it's more an issue with how the internet and image processing functions. And I felt like Instagram and Facebook (both own by the same company) also messes with the color of uploaded images.

[mathildehart]

I'll try that, thank you

[mathildehart]

Yeah it's a bit frustrating when I want it to come out exactly the way I made it, but it doesn't seem like there's much to do. Thanks for your respond though
