Processing to JPEG is looking flat
Hi,
I noticed something this morning - a refined a bunch of images that I shot during the week. The colors as seen in C1 were vibrant, but I processed them into JPEGs and found that the images rendered out a little dull - particularly the greens.
Recipe: full size JPEG 100% quality and resolution with 300 px/in. ICC profile is "embed camera profile" (i'm not keen to change that as I don't know what will happen).
My knowledge of processing is quite limited; so i'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Almost certainly it would be a good idea to change the ICC profile from Embed Camera Profile to sRGB. Trying it will not break anything and you can always change it back. You could try processing the same image with both Embed Camera Profile and sRGB, and see whether you can see a difference.
If that doesn't improve matters, the next thing to consider might be what you are viewing the JPG with. Do you mean that it looks flat viewed in Capture One, or viewed in some other app?

Good help Ian; thanks.
I've switched it to sRGB; but....I think you were on to something, and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't try it before posting - the native Windows picture viewer might have been the culprit. I don't normally view the JPEG output while in C1; but I switched over to session-based, and browsed the outputs, and am much happier with what I see. I think the Windows viewer subdues the greens A LOT. I don't notice the difference with other images that are dominated by blues and reds.
Thank you,

I mentioned it because I had an idea that people had mentioned that issue before. (I don't use Windows, so I hadn't seen the same thing.)
