Love,love your channel Jess. Thank you so much for the fantastic tutorials that you post. I’ve learnt a lot already in order to get some better shots of my dog, Chester. Thank you !
Great video. As first step I would recommend duplicating the image, so you don't lose the original TIFF or PSD in 16 bit/Prophoto or Adobe RGB. I had issues with IG changing my colors when exporting and in this step converting to sRGB. Now I duplicate the image (close the TIFF or PSD), convert to 8 bit, convert to sRGB, adjust size to wish (normally to IG recommended size and crop), export as JPEG high quality and tick "Embed Color Profile", untick "Convert to sRGB" (redundant). No more problems with IG. Cheers! 😀
At 72dpi for social are your images sharp?? I always wonder why some people images are super sharp and crisp on social and others are pixelated when you zoom in a bit. By the way … love your 5 minute Fridays and your fun way of delivering tips for Photoshop! 😉
Yes. DPI has no relevance on devices, only in print. If you upload and image that is too large to social the apps will compress it to size and that gives you blurry bits and loss of detail 🤓
Is this the setting I save to take to print shop I'm having trouble with my colors I believe they said they print cymk, so do I save it as cymk? Thank you for your time.
Hi! New to your channel but not a stranger of your work. Going back in your catalog of video's and you have some very wonderful information to share. Was wondering if you have a video specific to posting to IG? Would really like to know how to get that crisp image without instagram leaving me with little squiggly (worms) lines in my image. Any advice on resolution ect...looking for a good recipe. Thank you sooo very much!🙏🏻
Hello Jess, I’m editing in Adobe RGB and when it comes to preview the converted image into srgb, no matter which method I pick, I’m experiencing color shifting. Most on greens and blues, but afaik is just because you’re shrinking a large color profile into a smaller one (therefore the images won’t ever match?). Thanks a lot if you’re going to answer 😬
Very very very saturated and vivid colours will not be able to reproduce in sRGB but it’s quite rare that there is a serious shift. Studio backgrounds and very saturated skies are the main culprits, and sadly we have to accept that the colour we had just doesn’t exist in sRGB land ☹️
Hi Jess, what is the difference between Save As vs Export As? both have options to save and convert to sRGB. But there is also and option "save for web". If "save as" is good for social media what is "save for web" for?
So, i tried this today, other than the 'save for web' function in photoshop.. disappointing it did not work. We regularly shoot in studio on a dark grey backdrop. While i can see the much reduced banding on a computer monitor, on the phone its terrible
Thankyou for all your amazing advice Jess!! Can you possibly help me understand why my images look WILDLY different WHEN I look at them on my phone. They are always SO oversaturated in the orange tones. I know it's normal to be a bit different but I feel like it looks totally different!! Is this normal? Skin tones especially look crazy orange when then print perfectly from my calibrated screen!
Would it be worth saving 2 versions? 1 high res and 1 for social media? Also, do you ever save the psd files aswell after all editing is completed? Thank you for the great videos btw, I’m learning a lot 😊
Depends on your needs, I myself save 4 copies of each on my images I save a PSD, then a full resolution then a medium resolution for flickr and finally a low resolution for facebook and instagram 🙂 takes up a lot of storage haha
I love that I always learn something new by watching these videos. But now I have a question. You said that SRGB can mess with 16-bit, so what should I have my profile set to when I export from LRC to PS to begin the edit. Currently, I have it set to SRGB. Thanks!
Hi! Great videos! Thank you. How do you remove colour banding caused by Sony a7iii silent shutter? I've been trying in LR. I had to use SS, for a few kittens, at a rescue - they were pretty scared with the shutter sound. Only photos with colour banding. I used LED continuous lighting. A video on how to fix it would be amazing! Or any tips. Thank you in advance 🥰🐾🐶🐕😻🐈📸
Have you tried our video on chromatic aberration? I have linked it below for you 😊 What is Color Fringing, Why it happens and How to Fix it in Photoshop | Chromatic Aberration 101 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-juEKC_j_nZQ.html
Thanks for the great video😍 Do you have a tip on resizing landscape and portrait images in one step? I like to save my images via actions and if I change the width to 2000px, its the longer side on which I started (say landscape) but does not change the longer side but the shorter for the portrait format one. (My Photoshop is an older version..)
I don't think you could do it in one action, or you'd be resizing it twice. I just have two actions - one for either landscape or portrait and then click the one I need depending on the photo. :)
I feel like I've missed something 😅 I have a calibrated screen and I applied this calibrated profile to my images in Photoshop so that the colours are "true" ! But will the colours change on my edited pictures ? I somehow don't understand something sorry😂
No, this process won’t change colours but on 0.1% of cases you might see a slight shift at the colour profile step. It’ll keep you image looking the same from whatever you edit in to the final JPG. If you upload an Adobe RGB image to the internet, it will turn green. If you change the profile and bit depth without flattening the image, you often introduce banding. This process avoids all potential issues seen at export 👍
