Kim, I'm good with it and when I download the skin tone looks better than it does on the screen. I have no idea of what is under mother's sleeve and really not that important.  :up:

And on that note, Margie, I find that when I post to the forum, via Post Image, the picture change in color a bit, at least that's been my experience.

I've noticed that too

Any color shifts in a browser vs Photoshop (or Affinity) or after upload vs on your computer suggests a problem with color management in your workflow. It's probably worth figuring out where the problem lies because you can't reliably work on color without a color managed workflow.

If I look at an image I posted on the forum in my browser (Chrome on a Mac) it looks the same as it does in a preview window on the Mac. Firefox on the Mac works correctly too. I think the major browsers on both Windows and Mac are now color managed by default, but there are a couple of resources you can use to check on your browser.

Firefox doesn't support LUT (look up tables) which Chrome does support. You can see the differences with this test page

A color managed workflow means that each device you use and all files created need to have a profile that describes their color characteristics in an ICC standard format, and all software you use must know how to read and adjust dipslay of images based on ICC color profiles.

So you need a calibrated monitor, all images need embedded color profiles, Photoshop should be set to alert you if you open an image without a profile, and your browser needs to support reading iCC color profiles. If you don't have those, other people may or may not see the same colors as you do and if you send files off to be printed professionally, they may or may not look the way you expected based on what you saw on your monitor.

Color management is a big topic, but here are some links to information

I only mentioned the way I saw things when I posted via Post Image, Jo.  When I print things out they are fine.  I can only speak for me.  Thanks for the shared information.  I'm sure it will come in useful.
