Anyone notice colours go wonky upon upload to pix.ie?

I've not come across it before, but I uploaded a few pics of my boys there, and the reds are coming out very vibrant - The older fellow looks like he's wearing makeup! I open the jpg and the pix.ie upload side by side on the one laptop, there's a clear difference. Am I doing something wrong? I'd assume monitor needs recalibrating, but the difference is viewable on the same screen.

Could you post the image to boards for comparison.

there was somethin similar referenced recently. colour space in post processing had to be sRGB iirc. could you be using something different perhaps?

A slightly smaller version of it, because boards didn't like the file size, but here you go!

Edit - wtf, maybe I'm going insane, but that looks very pinky pinkerton too!

Edit 2 - doh, no wonder, wrong photo! Ok, right photo now, but still looks more red online than when I open the jpg locally ?? I have to be doing something wrong.

I just checked on the original picture in pix. The embedded profile is for your monitor.

That's all greek, but sure I'll have a look at the settings

Ok, trying this again with the sRGB, no idea if I did it right, so bear with me.
