Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Color managed web browsing!

Yeah Amin... I'm seeing colors...
Oh man am I seeing colors....

I thought that was embedded in the newest Firefox update last week...
What say you?

 

I will check when I get home this afternoon. Have you updated and checked it?

 

Well, I've just downloaded and enabled the module in my Firefox 3.6 and it didn't complain...

Cheers

Thanks for this thread. BillN should have a field day in here.

I'm used to Safari and have always been comfortable with it. Just can't get used to Firefox... I guess I'm an old dog, of sorts.

 

While we're on the subject of useful Firefox add-ons, remember to install this EXIF viewer... very useful.

Cheers

If in doubt, save your images for web display in sRGB colour space.

My PC has really slowed down since the last Firefox update .. to 3.6

When I close Firefox it appears to "shut down" but it never does and I have to do a Ctrl Alt Delete job and shut it down manually

The iMac should arrive tomorrow or the day after and I plan to use it almost exclusively for photo stuff

 

Bill, I had a clash with AVG antivirus and Firefox 3.6 I think... uninstalled AVG and bought PC Tools + antivirus instead.

Cheers

sRGB

I don't know if this is relevant to the ongoing thread but since d p Review enabled the uploading of files into their Gallery, I have found that any image that I have uploaded from Aperture has the wrong colour signature when I view it myself in d p Review. I am using the sRGB colour profile and wonder if that means that everyone else is seeing the horrible colours that I am? They look fine in Aperture, upload them and they look green and dull and not at all as I intended. Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

I can't, but thankfully mine look exactly the same here as they do on Aperture on my computer. I don't blame you for being surprised and upset.

 

Brian thanks - I think maybe I need a good DEFRAG

I use Zone Alarm

I have downloaded this colour management thing and installed it - is the default on automatically - or do I have to enable it somewhere?

 

You can try to disable AVG plugin for browser.. that slows things down.. I think.
Nowadays I use Chrome.. too bad they don`t have extensive plugins support.

 

Tried it, but on my mac it doesn't seem to work properly. Still different from safari color management (which is correct).

 

firefox 3.6 has colour management on by default. If you read the docs for that plugin, it's just a gui interface for switching it on and off.

It's causing some web sites/apps headaches... web pages that use images and coloured html mixed are looking all off.

The reason is pictures/images get colour correction, html does not. As a result the 2 - same colour items won't look the same anymore.

There's a bunch of information on this if you do a web search. It's definitely on in the newer firefoxes by default. (was available on the older firefoxes but off by default)

And for anyone who's wondering, the fix for it for images on web sites, is to delete the icc colour profile embedded in the images.

Don't we all, Bill - whoops, for a moment I though you said a good....... well never mind, that's what comes of being dyslexic.
