While Pic-Time supports both Adobe RGB and sRGB images, we recommend uploading photos with an sRGB profile to Pic-Time. This profile is specifically designed for screen viewing and printing, ensuring consistency in color reproduction. By converting your images to sRGB, you can ensure that your clients see the colors as you intended, both on their screens and in printed products.
