Hello everyone,

This is probably a really known "issue", if thats the case I apologize and feel free to delete this.

I've just realized the image representation in chromium-based explorers like Chrome its not loyal to the source (atleast for me), making it a bit messy and wrong color representation.

To prove this here how each media loads this image:



As you can see, chrome messes with the "edges" of the "clusters" but gets the color of its center right. Making the image look "sharper".

Was wondering if there is an alternative of switching to firefox to solve this.

Cheers

Huh, that's interesting. Does chrome do this on every site, or is it something specifically with PJ that makes it mess with images?

If you open a gif on chrome it does it. So presumably it does it on every site.

Here is another example.



As you see the clusters look "sharper" and the color slightly different. The difference becomes more apparent on larger images.

I checked this with screenshots from both Firefox and Chrome and saw no difference. Might be something with your hardware or your browser settings.

This is the first time I hear about this, looks odd!

But also on my end, there is no difference between chrome and firefox...

Have same issue with Microsoft Edge or other chromium browsers. But not with Firefox...

The fact that you were able to screenshot it means that it's not something performed at the graphic card level.
It looks like a kind of page-wide image sharpening. (I mean like the Photoshop filter called "sharpen"). Even the text is affected, Chrome seems the only program affected on this machine ? Maybe you have a Chrome extension that does 'enhanced contrast' ?
