JarekJ.com

After following his Beijing Olympics photo blog back in August, I managed to convince my friend Jarek of a need for a proper place to present the pictures he takes. Without further ado, JarekJ.com is now at your service. It’s fully in Estonian, the way he likes it, but I’m sure his pictures speak the language everyone can easily understand.

I’d like to thank Jens for doing stuff with WordPress I could never pull off and staying patient while at it. We are both going to kick back now and enjoy some stunning photography and its stories.

Color sync

We’ve spent a bunch of time with the posse on studying the ways to display photography online so it retains its proper colors. The conclusion we’ve come to for now is …

finetune photos in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, Apple Aperture or any other photo editing software of your liking,
take screenshots of them as they are when you’re happy with them,
resize the screenshots (if you couldn’t take them 1:1 already) to a desired pixel size and optimize a .jpg files out of them, staying away from all the color profiling shit.

Considering all the color profile handling, operating system gamma and browser difference jazz going on at the moment, this is your easiest way out. For now, we hope. Yes, it’s not comfy, but at least the time and effort you’ve put into getting the colors of your photography right is justified in the most reasonable way possible.
