photos loose their profile and appearance

When I upload some photos to my gallery, they still look pale. When I download them using the download option in zpgalleriffic, and then open them in photoshop, they have no more color profile.
I did the same download from different zen galleries of several photographers, and their photos keep their profile.
Plus, they look exactly the same in firefox and in photoshop.
More, I uploaded these pictures to my gallery and they turned pale and fade as mine, loosing also their color profile when downloaded.
So, it's not a problem about the way I prepare my jpeg before uploading.
Finally, but not necessarily related to, my upload doesn't work since the beginning, and I have to use ftp.
I updated yesterday to zenphoto 1.3.1 and get the same issues.

Could it be an explanation?

Thank you

    So, is your site using Imagick for image processing? If not, then no image color space profiles are being perserved. Really, still most browsers assume that the images are in sRGB colorspace, so any other space will be a problem even if you use Imagick. That is always the best recommendation--If you want images to look correct over most of the WEB use the colorspace that is presumed over most of the web.

    As always also see: http://www.zenphoto.org/2009/03/troubleshooting-zenphoto/#48

    Regarding the upload: Which the multifile upload or the single file upload or both? And what does not work and in which browser?

    My photos are in SRGB from the beginning. I don't know whether or not my site uses Imagick and I don't know what it is. How can I check that?

    About the upload issue, the multifile upload is the one that doesn't work. Single is doing good.
    It's in Firefox. I get a http error at the end of each upload once it's done.

    Thank you

    Since you have to enable it explitiy on the Zenphoto option you don't use that. See Options > Image. If your server has that all only your host can answer.

    Regarding the upload I am not able to reproduce that in Safari or Firefox. Works as it should for me.

    If you have a need to preserve image color profiles you MUST use Imagick as the GD library is not capable of this.
