If you are using a Mac and notice your images appear washed out or overly dark, you may need to convert the color profile to sRGB before uploading them. If you only have a few images to convert, you can find single-image instructions here.
Note: Windows users typically do not need to do this, as PCs generally do not save color profile information in JPG format.
Batch Converting Images to sRGB on a Mac
Step 1: Open an Image
- Open any image that has an Adobe RGB (or another non-sRGB) color profile.
Step 2: Create an Action Set
- Open the Actions tab.
- Click on the small menu icon in the top-right corner of the Actions tab.
- Select New Set, give it a name (e.g., "Conversions"), and click OK.
Step 3: Create a New Action
- With your new set selected, click the Create New Action icon.
- Name the action (e.g., "sRGB") and leave the other settings as default.
- Click Record to begin recording the action.
Step 4: Convert the Color Profile
- Go to Image > Mode > Convert to Profile.
- Under Destination Space, select sRGB and click OK.
Step 5: Stop Recording
- Click the Stop Recording button in the Actions tab. Your action is now saved.
Step 6: Batch Convert Your Images
- Go to File > Automate > Batch.
- Under Set, select "Conversions."
- Under Action, select "sRGB."
- Under Source, select the folder containing the images you want to convert.
PRO TIP!
Before converting, create a folder on your desktop named "Conversion Source" and move the images you wish to convert into this folder.
