Sponge@Bonaire

Hello,

I'm not sure where to post this.

I have noticed the problem several times, but with this pic it really shows up :

I have very nice and bright colors in my picture editing program, and when it shows up in MSIE colors get brownish...

Isn't this sponge dark and brown ?

If you save it and open in photoshop it's much nicer

Any ideas ?

Thanks

If you discard teh embedded profile in PS then the image is the same as IE, if you change the profile to ADOBE RGB as the picture, then it is brighter. All to do with embedded profiles methinks.

Before I post something on the web, I always convert it to sRGB. Otherwise, your image will not look right. Of course, this is just to please the masses. If I were posting photos just for myself, I'd convert to my own monitor profile, instead.

Incidentally, this problem isn't just a web problem. Certain image viewers are profile-aware. For example, ACDSee on the PC is great if you are looking at sRGB images, and if you are using a relatively uncalibrated monitor that happens to match sRGB. However, on my setup, everything looks wrong. If I use something like Photoshop of BreezeBrowser, which can be configured to "know" about your monitor profile, and is aware of the color profile of your source image, it will do the conversion to the monitor's color space.

Depends on the app. And probably the platform. I'm not sure what happens on the Mac.
