I recently played with and successfully uploaded a LR-created web gallery to some webspace I have. Really slick! I really liked how it can go straight from the NEFs direct to uploaded JPGs with no intervention on my behalf other than supplying the server address and password. And the results looking way better than alternatives like Google Picasa. Previously I had been considering purchasing some space on Pbase.com to share photos with family and friends but with LR's built in web gallery feature I won't need to.
Anyways, I did encounter one thing in my testing of a few galleries. I have some photos which do not downsample to sRGB properly and have some color shift in them when done so. When I have printed these images in the past, I exported the file using the AdobeRGB colorspace and everything was great.
But I don't see any option to specify the output color profile for web galleries? I know that the web runs sRGB by default, but the way I see it- those people with color-aware browsers (quite a lot nowadays, as most modern browsers do respect color profiles) will get to see my pics properly, while those who don't will be defaulting into sRGB anyways, which they would have seen if my images were embedded as sRGB in the first place.
Am I missing this feature? Or is it not implemented? If not, I think it would be a relatively easy feature to add, and very useful.
Also, another great feature to add to web galleries would be the ability to password protect galleries, so they could be posted on the web and only be viewed by family/friends who knew the password. I know there are some workarounds for this but I was not able to figure them out and it would be nice to have that ability built into LR. Do you think that something like this is within the scope of LR or is it something that really should be handled by the web server?
