Re: Firefox 3 will have "Color Profile" support in browser

I used a photo "color profile" supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium at:

C:\windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\Photo.gmmp

using the FF add-on mentioned above instead of the default sRGB.icm in the same directory.

The difference in looking at the photo in IE7 vs FF3 with this photo.gmmp "color profile" was striking. I clipped the comparison photos and have inserted it here showing the difference, though without the "color profile" feature turned on I am not sure if the difference will be apparent.

The top version is with the FF3 "color profile" feature turned on" and the bottom is with IE7 with no "color profile" feature activated.

Personally, the point of using color profiles in images posted for web viewing is a bit lost on me. The majority of monitors are built for sRGB, so it only makes sense (to me, at least) to save images in plain vanilla sRGB. Including an embedded profile would be most correct but even that shouldn't be a necessity, if the image is sRGB.

IOW, I fail to see the point with web graphics in aRGB since most monitors can't fully display aRGB.

Still, the plugin is appealing since people post all manner of things and I'd prefer seeing what they intended us to see. Much better than complaining about their silliness...
