Some of my photos look darker on the Dropbox website.
I just uploaded photos, and they are much darker than they should be. Meaning, something in Dropbox darkened my photos from their original appearance. Anyone know what is going on?
Hey!
Thanks for getting back to me about this, it turned out that the reason they were dark was because the images were saving in a different mode or profile when I edited them in Photoshop. This problem left me confused for days! Here is how I solved that problem: in the Adobe Photoshop program I went to Edit > Convert to profile > then in the dropdown menu chose sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then I saved the file. And that cleared up my whole problem! I dont know how common that problem is or if the OP was having that problem, but I hope this can help somebody.
Thanks again!
Best,

Here is the link to the file: [link removed]. You can clearly see the last five photos are demonstrably different from the prior uploads, although they should look exactly the same.

Please do not share personal info or photos here on the forum. When you upload them from your desktop, are you opening them on your desktop or on the web (to see the 'darker' version)? If web - you're looking at a preview of the file, as said. If you open from your desktop you should see the original file.

I'm having the same problem, images look normal while viewing on computer, but when I upload them they are darkened. I'm having a similar problem with images printing darkly, so maybe these two things are connected. It's strange and I'm at a loss for where to look for answers

Dropbox darkens all of my photos as well. Every awesome sunny photo I upload to Dropbox turns out like dusk at night. I have to edit like crazy which in turn ruins the quality of the picture. VERY FRUSTRATING! Dropbox, Why don't you just tell us what is going on with the pictures??
