Colorspace issues.

[Delacombe]

Dear all,

I am now struggling for a week with color space and get unwanted results when exporting my retouches online.

Setup :

- A7rIII (Shoot in Adobe RGB)
- MacBook Pro
- Benq SW271 - Calibrated with Color Palette and Xrite i1

My Process :

- Shoot with the Sony a7riii
- Raw Adjustments in Capture1 20
- Export to Tiff format and Import to Photoshop
- Retouch on Photoshop and export to JPG with conversion to SrGB

Result :

Once I try to upload the Image on Instagram and check it on my phone, the colors are way too saturated and with a yellow + Magenta Tint

Any Ideas what I am doing wrong ?

1: try viewing the original images you uploaded locally in your browser. Do they look how you want?
2: Instagram uses the DCI-P3 colorspace, not sRGB. Try this conversion on one and upload it.
3. If this still doesn't get you there, check the conversion settings

Hope something helps.

Simple, the browser isn't color managed. Without color management, sRGB or ANY color space is a meaningless concept. See:
