I am trying to figure out the best way to prepare a good scan from a black and white negative for uploading on my website?
8-bit jpeg 72dpi grayscale. So far so good.
For some reason the test file I have uploaded here has a blue tint, even though it is a grayscale image. The image looks fine (ie grayscale, not blue tinted) when I open the file in Photoshop. Thought the problem was the calibration of my laptop monitor but found the same problem when I checked the uploaded test file on another computer. Even found the same problem when I started to look more closely at "black and white" images on other websites - though it seems that some avoid it.
I have tried to change the color profile, to upload with no color profile, to convert to sRGB and destaurate the image... and even to change the background color of the web page from white to another color so that the photo "looks" less blue.
But still looks blue...
Any advice?
