Sometimes images look terrible - and how to fix it

I'm a content creator and work on the Mac, and prefer Safari, but roll20 is only working on chrome and firefox. I immediately started noticing a strange problem, every image I create and upload looks great on the computer, and then terrible when I use it online. If i drag the images directly into the browsers, I notice it in both firefox and chrome, but not in safari. In trying to solve this mystery, I realized that since we're primarily a printhouse, everything we do is in CMYK. When I convert the color profile of the images to RGB and resave them, they now look fine in chrome and firefox! So keep this in mind if you're having terrible display problems, it could be the CMYK conversion of your browser. &tldr Save your images in RGB and not CMYK

Well, yes, Josh, you figured that one out. It also doesn't display Metallic inks, 3D holograms, RAW files, Flash graphics, origami. (Just kidding around.) Go RGB for your web graphics. Care to post and show off any of your print house graphics? If you have success with converting, hopefully in the long run you can make some of your art content available on the Roll20 Marketplace (if not dropping a few free samples for us).

It's all already on it's way =D Nolan has set me up with 2 download links and I'll shortly be adding a few more. Also, we're gonna start a kickstarter to put a little umph in the creation of some new tokens (we have about 30 in an old style, and this kickstarter would add about 80+ more) and then that'll be trucked right over. We got big plans for roll20! it's a great site, awesome community, and we love to share everything we make.

Also (im currently uploading files) RIGHT after saying the CMYK problem is a problem in testing, I uploaded ~5 cmyk maps .... =( Do you happen to know how to "edit" or re-up maps I've already submitted to the market?
