http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/images-on-the-web-color-management An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us Please help me to understand (I'm sure it's been discussed before so forgive me)...When I upload images online, in Firefox the colors look terrible, pale. In Safari they look like on my local drive, OK to my eye that is. I convert images from Adobe 1998 to sRGB before uploading online. Question, is there something the user (me) can do to color manage Firefox? Is it true that we should convert images to sRGB color space when uploading online?

This should make images look correct on all PCs with gamma 2.2 even if the browser is not colour managed, while on Macs almost everyone's using Safari which is colour managed.

Best bet is to embed the profile, so the starting point is best.

So, if your images are in Adobe RGB 1998 and tagged that way, Safari will read the ICC tag and display it properly. Firefox will not see the tag and will simply render the image as sRGB, thus making it look terrible. The answer is as Petr suggests - convert all your images to sRGB for output. I have an action set up to do this. Also, I think in PS3 and later if you use Save for Web and Devices, PS will automatically convert the images to sRGB in the save process.
