Taming Color Discrepancies: A RawTherapee and WordPress Workflow Fix

Less than 1 minute read time.

The article linked below discusses a color issue in RawTherapee, where images looked different on-screen compared to after being uploaded to WordPress. I resolved this by adjusting a setting in RawTherapee. However, this isn’t exclusive to RawTherapee—it could also occur in your editor or be related to the output settings used for WordPress.

During my research, I discovered that WordPress displays only sRGB images correctly. Issues often arise when processing photos in Adobe RGB. Additionally, theme-related problems like dual-tone filters, overlays, or theme-specific quirks can also affect color accuracy. It’s always worth investigating these possibilities!
