Browser colour calibration issue
Images in the browser (Firefox, IE, Opera - all the latest versions)
look different in ACDSee Ultimate 8, Pro 6 and other image processing software. In the browsers they look much warmer (more yellowish). The screen is an IPS panel and is calibrated (I used an Xrite device). I'm quite puzzled. The images I'm talking about use the sRGB colour space and have no inbuilt colour profile (they are meant to be for the web). What causes these differences in how images are displayed? -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Browser colour calibration issue
I didn't think what you were describing was possible,
but I did some searching out of curiosity and found various things. I still don't understand how something like a browser can render an image differently, but apparently it's possible. At this link they're talking about having system-wide color management: https://social.technet.microsoft.com...w7itprogeneral On my own system the only color profile for my monitor is the one specific to that monitor. If you haven't "installed" your monitor that may be worth a try. (It should show up is display properties identifed by model.) You didn't mention OS, so I'm guessing it's Windows if you're using ACDSee, but both OS and version may make a difference.

In the past you could post images to the web without an embedded colour profile and the browser would treat them as sRGB. But it appears that nowadays you must embed a colour profile, otherwise the images won't display correctly in the browser. Quite interesting. unless there's an embedded profile and the creator was using a colour managed workflow, it's not possible for it to display correctly. it might be close enough and/or the viewer might not care. most people wouldn't know accurate colour if it bit them on the ass. |
