Slow, buggy, fat, crashing FF3.5 is the only stupid browser that works on my wide gamut monitor and mac. I regret purchasing a wide gamut monitor.<br /><br />Or I should probably move to a more advanced color managed and sensible operating system such as Windows 7 (sarcasm, but windows 7 does the right thing here).anandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834359164614504859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-16891830408379014622009-09-14T23:02:22.152-06:002009-09-14T23:02:22.152-06:00No unfortunately you cannot force color management...No unfortunately you cannot force color management of untagged images in other browsers than firefox.Jao van de Lagemaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853597371091364769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-88948831435062675132009-09-11T16:53:14.553-06:002009-09-11T16:53:14.553-06:00Is there a way to get other browsers in 10.6 to do...Is there a way to get other browsers in 10.6 to do full color management like in Firefox (including untagged images and text)?<br /><br />10.6 seems much better color managed and Quicktime X supports color profiles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-17621175443082697082009-08-08T18:58:07.069-06:002009-08-08T18:58:07.069-06:00Rafal,

The Mac version is correctly color managed and respects embedded profiles! Why not enable that in windows too? Firefox does it by default.

But the latest v3 dev release (3.0.190.2) does a bit, by supplying a command-line switch. It uses the display profile, but not the one embedded in the image. So, it sort of assumes all the images are untagged sRGB, and from this point on the color management "works". <br /><br />I hope they learn, or rather enable, support for embedded profiles by the time v3 gets released to the public.<br /><br />Here's the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4938" rel="nofollow">discussion</a>.Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteațăhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139385023195949226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-23373590799446148082009-07-01T11:52:29.918-06:002009-07-01T11:52:29.918-06:00I am not sure what you mean, but I can write the l...I am not sure what you mean, but I can write the last paragraph slightly less technical.<br /><br />To show how this works, I displayed the same webpage in three different browsers on my wide-gamut display and took a screenshot. I then converted this screenshot from the profile defining the monitor gamut to sRGB, the internet standard so that you will see something akin to what I see even in a non-managed browser. To learn more about color spaces and how browsers interact with them, you should read this <a href="http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/color-spaces-page1" rel="nofollow">excellent exposé by Jeffrey Friedl</a>.<br />As you can see, all three browsers render the colors in this image exactly the same. I even checked this by subtracting the color channels in Photoshop. If one of the browsers were not color managed, they would render the colors very differently and wrong, since this is a wide-gamut display that has a response very differently from sRGB. Nowadays very few computer displays still confirm to sRGB, mainly because of the prevalence of laptop displays (which are usually far narrower in gamut and have gamma curves that are usually completely different) and the rising popularity of wide gamut displays. Color management is needed on all such displays, even for sRGB source images. This is especially true for Macs, which come calibrated at gamma 1.8 from the factory making everything appear washed out in unmanaged browsers. Luckily this will <a href="http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2009/06/apples-new-os-defaults-to-gamma-22.html" rel="nofollow">change with Snow Leopard.</a><br /><br />Hope this clarifies it?Jao van de Lagemaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853597371091364769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-65027145488651525822009-07-01T08:49:13.207-06:002009-07-01T08:49:13.207-06:00Could you translate the last part of your post int...Could you translate the last part of your post into English please?
