What Color profile do you use? My Pictures are losing color in IE and Firefox but look fine in Safari because of the color profile I use. If you want to check open your flickr in safari and open your flickr in firefox and put them side by side. Just curious if anyone knows the fix for this. I was looking at my pics in safari and damn are they over saturated to compensate for the loss of color in firefox.

One commonly accepted practice is to set the working color space to Adobe RGB. The real key, however, is to save the images you intend for web viewing as sRGB ("convert to profile" command).

BTW - I wouldn't recommend using Firefox on your new Mac. As Soopa evangelizes, use Camino instead. Mozilla even had a campaign earlier this year called "Make Firefox suck less on the Mac."

I went throught the same thing, but with Camino. I switched to OmniWeb, and haven't looked back.

I need a fix so people in general who view my pics dont see an over saturated clump, for the people who use IE and firefox

Like Billiam said, convert to sRGB if they aren't.

Do you mess with the saturation?

I am trying the srgb and its still not working. I did that before I made the post hoping there was another way.

Two dumb but necessary questions:

1) Besides just converting the image to the sRGB profile, are you also embedding the profile when you're saving the jpg's? Is the checkbox next to "ICC Profile" checked?

2) Are you only comparing the files between different browsers on your Mac or have you also compared them to FF and/or IE on a Windows machine?

Item 1 won't make much of a difference on Windows machine but it can make a huge difference on on how the images look when viewing them in different browsers on a Mac.

I have tried Srgb and working Srgb and the same effect

Those are the settings and the pictures. Firefox is on the far left (your left while typing) and the other 2 are the original (middle) and safari (right).


Yes I have the profile button pressed
No, I was doing this all in Mac...haven't tried Windows...will try it later though.
