RAW images will be displayed as resized JPGs on Picflow, so you may notice color and display variances on these image previews. Files downloaded from Picflow as resized JPGs might also contain those display variances. We recommend downloading and delivering RAW files only in the “Original File” format.
Color Profiles
Images for display on the website are converted to sRGB. If the image is untagged, it will be tagged as sRGB for display. We use sRGB for maximum browser compatibility. Images exported for printing will also be converted to sRGB. Keep in mind that we retain the original file which is an exact copy with the original profile intact.
