Color Profile

Been busy with shooting pictures and updating my other blogs lately. Also, spent time to test some lenses and reading up on photoshop and seeing other photogs' works.

Digital photography is simply wonderful. For instance, previously I did not bother to switch color profile or space to sRGB when I posted pictures on the web. All my raws were shot using aRGB for the wider gamut. And since the processed jpegs looked ok on the web, I did not convert.

That changed when I posted the photos I took in Krabi / Phuket -- the colors had a distinct green tint to them. And also the most recent series of portraits I took of Anna and her mom.

So I converted the color profile to sRGB before downsizing and uploading to the web. And the difference is perceptible.

I don't know if it is my eyes. Is it possible the eye becomes more critical with the passage of time, as the eye gets used to digital photos on the web?

Or was it due to the D70 which had its firmware updated to the latest version?

I had sent the camera to Nikon Service Centre in Oct 05 for a routine maintenance check before the warranty runs out in Feb 06. And the differences between aRGB and sRGB became more apparent after the servicing.

November Gal

Anna's birthday falls on November 17. Pictured below is her mom who flew to Singapore for a vacation and to see her favorite daughter. Both mom and daughter are very close, and enjoy travelling to places around the globe. They will visit beautiful Malacca and KL for 10 days, I think.
