and colors look much flatter than when I view the files locally.
same browser, same html file, same everything.
is there a loss of quality from a web server in a flash file?
i've never seen, or maybe just haven't noticed it before.
i'm on a mac. haven't tested in windows yet to see if there
is a difference.
thanks.Flash file on web server, looks flatter...
Web Colors
Flash file on web server, looks flatter...
not sure i see your point.
doesn't the user agent dictate what colors the viewer will
finally see?
in this case the user agent is exactly the same, the only
difference being that one source is being fed locally, the other
remotely.
How do your colors of other photos and images look when
browsing online? How about in different browsers? Do you have IE
and Firefox that you could use for comparison? Is this a Mac or a
PC?
I am testing mostly on a Mac, but also just checked it on a
PC.
In Safari/Mac, everything including photos is a little
brighter and has less contrast when viewing remotely.
The same in Firefox/Mac, but less so
When I view a photo (not in flash), it is brighter overall
remotely
In Windows in both IE and FF, remotely there appears to be a
slight magenta shift, but the brightness and contrast are about the
same.
Interesting.
I wonder if it varies also by server type, server location,
etc.
The difference in color when viewing on different machines
can easily be chalked up to differences in the OS, video card, etc.
But, if you are saying that when viewing the exact same files on
Firefox, on the Mac, it looks different that when you view it
locally, that is odd. You're not on dial-up are you? Sometimes ISPs
have a ''speed boost'' capability that loads pages faster because it
reduces the amount of color. Otherwise, I dunno.
i have cable modem. my client is saying that she is seeing a
difference as well, and she is on dsl with another provider. you
can view this photo remotely:

download it to your system and view it locally and let me
know if you see a difference local v. remote
