Colour Problems

Matt · 26 Aug 2006 at 19:04

I've been taking a few photos today, and am coming to edit them now. However, i seem to have a few colour issues on my Mac

From Aperture, PS CS2, Preview, Safari the image is as it should be. When opened in Firefox or anyone elses machine it's wrong!

Any ideas at all?

It's like that, with the correct colours on the right (Safari).

My mac does that too, also i've noticed that ony my PC desktop. Hmmmm... nooby suggestion but does Safari use different colour settings/profiles to PS and Apeture? That could be it :confused:

It's got to be colour profiles issue I'd imagine. Dunno if Firefox supports colour profiles, but I'm pretty sure IE does. Does the file have a SRGB colour profile? And does it look OK on another machine running IE?

I'd say it a problem with Firefox.

Forget exporting the image as Adobe RGB for the web though. If its going on the web use srgb.

Now i'm fairly certain that not firefox or i.e support colour profiling. You just convert the images to srgb (not just assign srgb) so it's more compatible with the majority of displays.

Post a tiny psd of your shot and i'll see what result I get if you want?

I agree with Dublove. Convert to SRGB for the web, and also tell Photoshop to embed the SRGB profile into the JPEG.
