Hey all,
I was hoping you all could help me. I'm running version 1.4.13 (stable) on my site currently. I've had it up for quite some time, but haven't loaded anything new to the site in a long time. Well, I finally decided that I needed to upload some of my new photography files. Well, the problem is, the thumbnails that are created by Coppermine for the newly uploaded files look dull. It almost seems like they are either less saturated or something. Is this a problem anyone else has experienced?
My other shots (that were previously uploaded on the site) were modified/saved in Photoshop CS3 prior to upload. However, I used Lightroom 2 for these latest shots. They look fine on my computer and they look fine if you click on the thumbnail and view the large version of the photo. However, if you look at the page with the thumbnails, the photos look like crap. However, on my other galleries (the originally uploaded ones), the thumbnails look just fine and look like the larger version of the files.
The only thing I can see that's different is that I used Adobe Lightroom 2 to modify/adjust the files. Is there a problem with Coppermine recognizing Adobe Lightroom 2 settings or something? I've been using the color space of ProPhoto RGB. So, I thought maybe that did it. So, I tried one photo and saved it as regular sRGB and uploaded it and it still did the same thing. Both, again, were saved through Lightroom 2.
I went through the Admin settings section of Coppermine, but didn't see any type of special settings for the thumbnails quality. I do have it set at 100%, so that's not it.
Any ideas of what is causing this and how to fix it? If it was me looking at the site, I would actually skip over clicking on the photos because the thumbnails look so much like crap. People won't think to click on the thumbnail to see the nicely colored photo that actually shows up on the large version. :-(
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Regards,
Mat
