Faded, Washed-out WordPress Images

Posted on May 14, 2012 | 1 comment

I went to black and white today to avoid a washed out image!

I need your help, faithful readers. While visiting my mother over the weekend for Mother’s Day I took along my wife’s laptop. While showing family members some of my images on this blog I discovered my photos were uniformly faded. washed-out and terrible looking. On my desktop they look saturated and vibrant, just as I processed them. On the laptop (a good PC one) they really were just horrible. If any of you who have sent me kind comments in the past have been in actuality viewing these faded images … well, thank you for being kind, but you really should have told me how terrible they looked.

I am poring over WordPress materials and web solutions, but thus far I am coming up empty-handed. I’ll stay with it, but it is discouraging. So, in the meantime, please do me a small favor. Write and tell me if my photos have that washed out look and, if so, on what kind of computer and monitor you are viewing them. Oh, and if it is just the images on my blog or if you are seeing the same effect on other blogs or web pages. That could help me find a solution for what is unacceptable now.

I apologize for what is going out over my name if they look as bad to you as they do on my wife’s laptop (it is a pretty new Lenovo Thinkpad with an upgraded screen). She rarely looks at my blog, so she never thought to mention this to me (gee, that is really hard to admit). So, I need your help. And thank you in advance.
