Just Joined Here. Hello To All...got A Question, Why Do My Images Show Up With Purple Tint When People On Google Chrome Try To Look At Them On This Site?

Make sure they are either SRGB or RGB and not CMYK.

Yep, they be purple on Chrome and Firefox.

Tom I am unable to see any of your artwork. I'm only able to see titles. I'm using Firefox at the moment

That's odd. They look purple in Chrome but not IE.

Viewing on Mozilla ... everything is purple.

Still on Mozilla Firefox, I just took another peek and now your uploads are viewable..unfortunately with a very Barney tint :(

Viewing on Safari and they look normal...that's really strange. I don't get the purple effect.

as said RGB - but it looks pretty funkadelic like that, you might try leaving that one and sending a correct one. for those who love purple.

Welcome Tom, you may have fixed the glitch but all your gallery's appear working ok and the images, though I did not it took forever for the server to display them., nice work and good luck to you.

Welcome! I don't know why some browsers are doing that, but I just wanted to say that your portfolio is amazing! I look forward to seeing more of your work (not in purple.)

As Jeffery says, we do not accept CMYK and it will do this

Change to RGB or sRGB

Wonderful art.

Using Mozilla as well and they are purple and take a few seconds to load.

yes, they are all purple to me. Were you listening to 'Purple rain" when you upload theses?

All your work looks great now!

Nope, still purple here.

I see purple too (Firefox) - except for the phone case sample thumbnail, which seems to be correct.

welcome Tom.

Thanks all! I am aware of the site not accepting CMYK color files. All my files are saved in RGB format. These are high res. scan files created and used formerly by my Publisher's printing resources in Hawaii. Took the master files, reduced the sizes, holding a 300 dpi res., so they met the max size limits. I did this using photoshop CS6. I made sure these were set in RGB..even re-formatted some twice to make sure, looking that they were set to save in RGB. All of these same file types have been used by sites and Gallery pages in past with no issues, so this is a first as to this problem. It has to be something other than the Color format.
Thanks for the great feedback! There is nothing like fellow artists to share ideas with! This is the first I have reached out to control my own publishing. I will be launching a website soon, and am hoping this to be a good resource to cover printing and product for me. It's a side thing for me to publish this fine art "fun stuff". My regular job keeps me busy as hell with being creative, but I really want to have a way to keep the stuff rolling here with my work that I do for my enjoyment. Hoping to solve this "purple mystery"! lol

wonderful work Tom, I have a similar sense of humor in my work like yours :)

Weird, when I look at your work with Safari at home, they look normal. Now on my work computer using Firefox, they are purple.

Maybe this might explain why the browsers are seeing the colors differently. http://petapixel.com/2012/06/25/is-your-browser-color-managed/ This article talks about embedding the color profile in the file if it is going to used on the web. This might be a choice in the software you used to resample your images before you uploaded? When I view your artwork in chrome its purple but in Explorer they are fine.

sRGB is best for web viewing.

Since you don't have a whole lot up yet, maybe copy all the keywords and such to notepad or whatever, delete all and start over - see if it was just a glitch when you uploaded.

For me, on FireFox all are purple tho they do look kewl and on Safari all are normal. Viewing on 27" iMac OS X 10.6.8

Still purple here. (Google Chrome)
No idea about why it is happening.
Good luck

I have not gotten further help/suggestions from fineartAmerica since I replied that the trouble isn't RGB . I have some images working when I saved the same files as gifs…however, still, part of the images in the products options are purple. Not crazy about the help I am receiving so far from this printing Company. I need to talk to an administrator that can help me work this issue through promptly. This is very seriously frustrating!

what program are you saving these in? and what is the color profile that the program may be trying to insert? like it may be set for your screen when it was saved.


---Mike Savad

I see two of them as normal color...all others purple.

Did you contact Support before posting in the forums....

I just looked on a Mac with Safari and they all look normal, no purple!

I am support and the answer is most likely that your color profile is changed. However you say it is not so I sent it to Sean to see if he knows of another reason. Everytime we have had this it has been something like saving a profile for something we do not use, like prophoto or there was another recently for a different site.

Unfortunately you are now waiting for Sean and it is now the weekend

Thanks Abbie. I am re-sampling the color scans and did research on my own online. I saved in sRGB, using photshop CS6 and it is helping, yet not perfect yet. If sean can let me know what his thoughts are on Monday, that is great! In the mean time, I will play around with this and see what happens.

I'm on chrome and your three bottom and Sealed With a Kiss are the only ones purple

I looked at one of the purple-hued ones and it was saved with the following embedded color-profile:

"PowerPhase2FX - TG1, tungsten"

It needs to be either Adobe RGB or sRGB. I'm guessing that color profile is related to some hardware (i.e. scanner or camera) that captured the image? Either way, you'll have issues on this site (well the web in general) if you don't use one of the above profiles.

Welcome to FAA...btw purple or not...great gallery :)

several more are now in color as compared to (my time) last night when most were bright purple - "on a roll" for instance, so whatever you are doing different now seems to be working...

Mark thank you, that will be the issue
