Image/Colour problems: Safari and Firefox

Universal · 17 Mar 2008 at 19:39

Hello,

I am having trouble with some images on my website. The colours are displaying slightly different in each browser. On Firefox they are looking slighly washed out. The profile of the images are Adobe RBG. Should I be saving them in a particular colour profile in photoshop to avoid this? I am using a mac.

Thanks

Are you sure it's not picking up an old cached version of the image? As one seems to have a gradient and the other doesn't. I wouldn't expect a different colour profile to completely remove that.

Don't think it's the cached version am to be honest, the shadow is from the window in Firefox/osx not the image. Just did a screen grab. I was thinking it could be something to do with how each browser handles colour profiles or something?

Are you saving these as png files? If so it might be similar to a problem I had before, esp if they look a bit wonky in IE too - I fixed them by using pngcrush but there's probably a better way.

No they are jpgs, saving them in Photoshop. Removed the colour profile and has seemed to have solved the problem. However they are saving with really washed out colour.

Firefox 2 doesn't do colour profiles - it's something that's new to Fx3.

I don't think Safari handles colour profiles. However I am using Firefox 3 beta version and getting the colour differences.

Save your images sRBG colour profile. Safari is the only current build other than stuff in dev like FF3 which handles colour profiles correctly.

Been having a nightmare all day trying to figure out why Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 displays different image colours to Safari, IE7 and Chrome :mad:

But unticking the colour profile when saving as jpg's works perfectly, thanks
