Photos look great in Lightroom, but dull and grainy on blog.

  • I edit my photos using Lightroom, and they look perfect in the Lightroom application, but every time I upload them to my blog, they look dull and grainy. I am exporting the pictures in the sRGB color space and resizing prior to uploading them to my blog. Here are screenshots of how my image looks on Lightroom compared to on my blog: https://imgur.com/a/eJe6H
    The difference doesn’t look major in the screenshots but the actual image looks much more vibrant in Lightroom, and much flatter on the web.

    Thank you for your advice!

  • If you’re uploading your image via your site (which I assume you) then a level of compression takes place, which might explain the difference. This was recently changed from 90 to 82, which means more compression is taking place.

    If you add the following script to your functions.php file then you can change this level (the following will put it to 100% the original)…

    add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'worg_support_image_quality' );
function worg_support_image_quality() {
    return 100;
}
