Hi!
I tried to submit a picture to the calendar III challenge, but the picture has almost a green tint on it once uploaded to DPC. This also happened in the recent gold challenge, were the colors didn't turn out quite right or the same as in LR...
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

Make sure you are saving to the sRGB color space. This maximizes color fidelity when viewing a photo through a browser, as in DPC, for example. Also make sure you've turned off soft proofing, as this will sometime show you different colors in Light-room than you see in your browser.

Did you save it as RGB or sRGB? I've had some problems with saturation of images I've uploaded to other sites if I don't convert to sRGB.

Are you using srgb colorspace in LR? A mismatch is most likely the cause.

Um wait how do you save it as SRGB safe?

In the Photoshop save-for-web dialog there's a convert to sRGB checkbox. I don't use Light-room but it might be the same.
