I like the transformation, Michal, but I think you know that I've always been biased towards deeply saturated, contrasty presentations. Now if you'd just put some frames on them... lol! You're spot on about using sRGB for web presentation. I switched to AdobeRBG, which Scott Kelby suggested in his book. But after a while, I realized my pics on pbase had lost their "pop". Turns out most websites don't know how to use AdobeRBG. I ended up converting everything back to sRGB, which is the universal color space. uf

Thus far I've never had a feeling that your stuff should* look any different than it does: looks great! Of course, like you, I'm on a Mac, and as you said, PCs are another matter altogether.* Thanks! I've always just adjusted photos individually in a sort of intuitive way, based on what I know things look like in the field under various light conditions. Actually, much of the time, I don't have to do much adjusting. There are just a couple of conditions that require some work -- metallic insects photographed on sunny days.. and unfortunately, that's just about the only time they come out to sit on leaves! The other is when shooting fish on-site using a small display container, or shooting frogs and crayfish that are in the water. Quite aside from the camera settings, I usually have to do a bit of tweaking to bring out their colours and particularly their field markings, etc... Again, it's all adjustment based on what I know of the animals rather than any real formula. If they look fairly realistic, then maybe I'm getting it right. <g> Not at all sure what this color space would do for your photos, Croc, but it sure seems to help mine to look the way I want them to, on my Mac and the friend's PC which I checked them on, last nite. Hmm... never even give these things any thought, so there you go! Guess I should pay attention to all of this technical stuff. <g>
