Convert from Adobe RGB to srgb for web posting? The KTM colors look whack to me but could be this POS monitor at work.

Yup. Seems like if I don't imbed a profile they look better, but I'm on a Mac, the browser see's the color correctly no matter the color profile. I've yet to figure out what causes some images to display poorly.

The first KTM (posted today) looks right to you or no?
The Kawi?

The Kawi looks fine the KTM orange is washed out in all the photo's to me but I would never want to adjust color on this monitor.

The KTM also looks wahsed out to me on this OLD monitor. I can check on my Mac later and see how it looks. As a general rule it will look better on the Mac.

Nice shots.

Better? Having a hard time with this one. It was shot in raw, pretty sure those earlier versions were imported in AdobeRGB, then converted to sRGB. This time, sRGB right from raw. I work with AdobeRGB for all my other stuff, probably forgot to change over.

Couple things have me stumped, including these color issues for web display.
Some images, even though they are sized the same (px and dpi) require a lot more compression to get to the file size limit than others of the same batch? I've yet to figure that one out.

Do you guys convert to a profile or assign a profile before saving? (I typically shoot in AdobeRGB to get the larger color gamut then convert for the web)

I shoot sRGB, don't convert or assign anything. PS is set to use my Labs printer profile for soft proofing but other than that I don't assign profiles.

Are his plastics faded?

I shoot in sRGB also. Then everything is converted to CMYK later down the line for the press.

My worklflow always has hue/saturation to some level.

Okay, the new versions (on the mac display) are much more saturated. I know the mac manages color a lot better (PC browsers don't at all from what I understand. If I shoot in Adobe and post it, it looks great, on the mac (more color to work with).

In the second set, I saturated and used selective color to make the orange pop (to the point of over sat on this display. I'd be curious to see what thump thinks they look like?

Something is getting hosed in the conversion, but no effecting other colors? I give up on KTM's :)

FWIW from a photo-illiterate the front plate and topside fender are worse than underside fender and insides of shrouds, some point they are going to start looking on the pink side of shading
