sidetracked

Ok, I did a few of my own tests. My optimal solution: Convert to sRGB then save as a jpeg (not save for web since that ditches exif info) and ebed the color profile in the hopes that either some people will be using safari and will see it correctly, or that the other browsers will someday correctly read embedded color profiles.

Haven't read quite all of the replies, but I have been having similar issues. One thing I noticed is that Safari successfully reads embedded color profiles in JPEG images... so you can just save as Adobe 1998, and it will look the same as in photoshop... or convert so sRGB and it still looks good in Safari (I'm using the latest update of Tiger...).

HOWEVER, this is NOT true about firefox, Opera, or IE (i think. haven't tested IE myself). They don't care about ICC profiles (see link: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2005/03/30/Mac-Browser-Roundup) and show my image as flat.

I posted a screenshot and some details here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22971479/

I want to try a bit more testing before I come to any conclusions, and I'll be sure to post what I find out here.
