I need to delete my image library and upload modified backups with same names.

But I still need to upload reprocessed images to wordpress.com.

Unfortunately, due to the way we save image backups, it isn't possible to re-upload modified versions and maintain the same filename. Our system will append a number next to each subsequent version of the same filename, even if the original file is deleted from your media library. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Glad you found a solution that works, and thanks for the explanation.

Thanks Kathryn,
My images should be sRGB already; they are exported/converted as sRGB from Lightroom RAW images. But as you can see on lots of forums, they are not handled same as Photoshop jpgs by browsers. I leave the details to Lightroom forums for that problem.
I found a solution for my self, if I open the same converted jpg with Irfanview and save as jpg again(I believe stays as sRGB), than non-color managed Chrome for example displays my images properly. It is not a wordpress bug; you can open the image directly from your local disc with the browser, same case.
You see the problem mostly on calibrated wide-gamut displays. Colors are over-saturated if you view them with non-color managed browsers. Using sRGB solves the problem and you can be almost sure what people see , but not with Lightroom exported jpgs.

Hi there - sRGB images are often not displayed properly by WordPress.com's image-compression software, so I wouldn't recommend that you replace your regular RGB images with sRGB images.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, or if I've misunderstood what you're trying to do - thanks.

Thanks,
I know images are "backuped for us" and they are mostly safe, but I keep them in a folder for any other case. In this case they are useless if I can't connect them to the posts.

What I want:
I need to delete my image library and upload modified backups with same names.
OR Convert my library to sRGB (again!) online, while they are on wordpress.com servers.

Why: I export my images from Lightroom with a preset to a local folder, with sRGB colorspace, preferred size and name format. It seems like images exported/converted from Lightroom with sRGB are not handled right with non-color managed browsers (another story). If I open and save them with Irfanview (manual or batch) everything seems fine. So I need to change my library with those reprossed images but without losing their post connections.
I have tried deleting a few and adding new images with same names but posts ended with no images.
So is there a way to do it?

I'm sorry but we have no control here over which images how Facebook displays and how they are displayed. What we do know is:

Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.

To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.

Hello,

When I link my blog post to my FB page, I notice that the thumbnail picture color looks awful and way off from the original image, it much darker and flat than the original picture in the post. I also noticed when viewing my blog on my iPhone, the photo looks desaturated. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
Jen

It seems I'm missing the embeddeed color profiles in the small versions of my uploaded images. Is there a way (via code editing) to preserve the embedded profile also in the smaller images?
