Color shift happening when posting Fuji photos on Facebook via iPhone

Recommended Posts

It might sound complex, but it really is not: I download JPEGs from the camera (X100F) to my iPhone using the Fujifilm Camera Remote app, in full resolution and sRGB. When I post the given photo on Facebook, theres a clear color shift towards red (especially in the lighter tones), which quite frankly ruins the skintones, etc. If I copy the very same photo from the iPhone to my PC (for example via e-mail) and post it from there, the colors are correct, as is the jpeg file itself. Does anyone have a similar experience or an idea what could cause this? Since theres no iOS trickery involved (I make sure I am comparing the very same file on both PC and iPhone) and its in sRGB profile already, I dont understand where the color shift is coming from and quite frankly its making it impossible for me to post photos from my phone. Strangely, it it doesnt seem to affect snaps I have taken with iPhone to begin with, only the X100F photos I transfer from the camera. Comparison bellow....

Hi there! 

I'm having a similar issue like yours and finding hard to understand that no one has replied to you before! 

 

I posted a few pics of an event. On the camera and the phone the colours looked nice and great light and saturation of the colours. 

 

Once I uploaded them form my phone (Huawei), the colours and exposure dropped a bit so they didnt look that good on monitors or other phones 😓

 

Really struggling here!

my friend i get a bit of color difference between computer and phone (huawei) too. but i thought it was due to the color bit depth difference between computer and phone screen . so i started adjusting it while processing raw to match the good appearance in the phone screen (since it has more color depth). but if i find a solution ,i will let you know . have a nice day !

i read a few articles now . it says that the issue maybe caused by color spaces . the default color spaces of screens are sRGB , but our camera's can capture images in adobe rgb or prophoto rgb etc.. which has lot more colors than srgb and that data is stored in the image file data. so when a image is transferred to different devices the data in the image file which says it is in adobe rgb or in prophoto rgb is recognized by the device and it's automatically converted to display in the rgb color space of most device screens (there is high end screens which display more color spaces). but while exporting the image or while copying the image or while converting etc....the image data is lost ! which stores the color space information . so when the image file which lost the color space data (which tells the device that it is in adobe or prophoto rgb) , without color space information the device doesn't convert to the color space of the image file before displaying screen , so the displayed image looks bad and color shift's etc... so my guess is the conversion/compression process by facebook in phone and computer is different and one of it is removing the image data from the image file . so test this by taking pictures in camera in "RGB" color space !. let me know the results !. have a nice day ahead to you !

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
