Thank you so much, Christina! I tried correcting the color space to sRGB and it worked perfectly.

Just want to chime in and note that our image processor also had to switch to the sRGB colorspace for TMS images after our curators started complaining about recent eMuseum images. So you’re not the only ones!

Hi, Katherine –

 

We had a similar problem a while back with images “color-shifting” when we added them to TMS. I asked one of our photographers what they did to solve the problem and he sent me the following explanation:

 

The issue we were having was that some images that were created/edited in the AdobeRGB colorspace did not look correct in TMS, which isn’t color-managed. For us it involved making sure that images that were bound for TMS got converted to sRGB profiles before adding them into TMS. If you’d like to share this info with your colleague, please feel free—or to pass along any further questions.

 

I’m not sure if this is the same issue you have, but thought it couldn’t hurt to send this info along. If you have any other questions for our photographers feel free to contact me off-list.

 

Michael

Hi all - Just last Wednesday, I started noticing an odd color shift occurring when loading images into TMS. I am adding them as media to object records one-by-one and have not changed the manner in which I load them. When I first noticed it, I assume that something was off with the jpgs themselves, but I've experimented with a few different images, shot and processed by different people at different times and am still noticing the same shift. I would expect a color shift across monitors, but it seems odd that when I view the jpg in photoshop or even the finder previous window, it is noticeably warmer than it appears once I load it into TMS. The college's IT department has confirmed that there have been no changes to the server on which the images are stored or any back-of-house updates to TMS in the past week. I've used TMS for over ten years and have never experienced this before. Has this happened to anyone else? How did you fix it? Frankly, some of the images look so bad in TMS, I don't even want to publish them to eMuseum, which defeats a lot of the purpose of having the artworks photographed.

 

Here's an example (screen capture of both side-by-side on same monitor):

 

left: jpg in photoshop; right: as viewed in TMS (by double-clicking the image, but appears similar in the thumbnail as well)

 

left: jpg as appears on web, via eMuseum, from TMS; right: jpg in computer's finder window preview pane
