Difference in colors from Safari to Mozilla

[brettarthur]

so i usually use safari and obviously edit everything on my mac. when i edit my

photographs, the color is nearly exact when i upload them to the web and view

them on safari. later on i decided to use mozilla for some of the better

benefits of mozilla. so, i am wondering if there is something i am doing wrong

when saving my images because when i look at them on mozilla, they look like

crap. the colors are usually washed out and seem to be a lot more dull than the

way i originally edited them to be. any suggestions or answers?

You might want to look at this website: http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html

 

Safari is one of the very few color managed browsers out there. FireFox is not. Perhaps some day they all will be, but until they do you need to post images that work for all the rest.

Convert your pictures to sRGB colorspace if you want to use them in the web. There are just too many browsers that aren't color managed.

I don't know about Mozilla, but the imminently-released Firefox 3.0 is color managed.

"but the imminently-released Firefox 3.0 is color managed"

 

I bet that's causing some meetings in Redmond.

However the "actually released" Firefox 2 is unaware of color profiles (though in some cases seemingly aware of gamma tags).

i have actually been using sRGB for all my work, but there seems to still be a HUGE difference.

You are converting the image to srgb rather than assigning it?

 

Browsers that are not color managed will not display srgb properly (because they aren't color managed), but srgb color is close enough to how they display to not be unpleasant.

[brettarthur]

that was the problem, i was converting, not assigning.

 

thanks for the help!

It was unintended 8-) You should be converting to sRGB. Are you using "Save for Web"? I wonder if it would matter in that case.
