What happens if you view the saved image directly on your computer using the Preview application in your Applications folder?  Does it look correct then?

In the preview app the files is ok. Something goes wrong in the export to blogspot.
If I save a jepg with Aperture or Capture NX and export it to blogspot then it´s ok.

Photo Mechanic does not have an uploader for blogspot.  How are you uploading your images to blogspot?

First i export the file from PM to Capture NX. When I´m done with the adjustments I save the file as NEF. Then in PM I save the file From NEF to jpeg,apply IPTC, Preserv Exif, Watermark, Save it in folder at desktop, no scaling, convert to sRGB, Use embedded preview.
From my blogspot page i make new blog and import the file from desktop. The file is ok except when I enlarge it in blogspot it turns bW.

If I save the file as jepeg in Capture NX or another application it works fine.

Does blogspot perform any processing on the file during or after the upload process?

I don´t know but I can find the files in my Google Picasa Album and they turns bw even in Picasa.

As a test, try using the Delete Metadata tool to strip out everything, and then upload your image.  If it then works properly with blogspot and Picasa then there is something about the way those applications read metadata that is giving them problems.

Bravo, it works when I don`t preserve EXIF in my export of NEF files.
Thanks Kirk for good fast support.
