I've been having some issues with color management especially making comparisons from program to program and on web sites. Moose helped me with some Lightroom issues I overlooked (thanks Moose!), and I've been reading more and more about it. Below is a link (not sure how to make it clickable). I had no idea their was color management in web browsers. What a difference it is using Safari instead of IE or Firefox. http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html I hope this helps someone and just one more reason for me to switch from PC to Mac.. Maybe one day. Tony

Um...I don't understand your logic.  IE or Firefox automatically assume sRGB, which is what you SHOULD be using when you post images.   People that are POSTING non sRGB images on the web are the ones causing the problems.  Having a Mac will NOT help you see images on the web "more correctly"...if you use Adobe image profiles that display "properly" in Safari, you will be greatly disappointed when your PRINTS come back from the lab and don't match what you see on the screen - since pretty much all labs use the sRGB profile - and some won't even accept Adobe profiles.

At this point I'm finally realizing all the differences there are out there. I took it for granted that browser A was the same as browser B and C. I've asked myself why many times and never dug for the info.. my fault. This is just a small piece of the puzzle and thought it was a good find. People that post non sRGB files on the web probably don't know they are. I'll continue to utilize all 3 web browsers for now. As far as printing, I save as sRGB and view images in CS3 and have no issues with what I see on screen and on print.

You can download and use Safari, but as a Mac user the latest updates make Safari slow. Especially on pages that really like IE. So I will whisper this if you switch to a Mac you might push the PC in the corner, or decide it is a great door prop. I made the switch several years ago and I do not regret the switch. You can add or customize your browser with Firebox and get what extensions and add-ons you want. Regardless of what "benchmark" says Firefox is a great browser and is faster than Safari

To me this a lot of wasted effort, color management really only works when people have monitors calibrated to the same standards and are in similar viewing environments. This just doesn't happen for the vast majority of people looking at Web sites. |c
