Different Colors by "Saving for Web" - why???

[cl...@adobeforums.com]

hello, save pics for the web, incl. profile sRBG. but the pics look colder - warm colors get lost - in firefox, because ff is not able to use profile (but only with an extension as i know).
safari is able to show the collors correct.

bridge color prefs are set to "for web/europe". am choosing "saving for web", and "Incl. ICC-profile"...

any ideas?

thanks

How does it look in Internet Explorer (the most used browser)?

[cl...@adobeforums.com]

have no ie (win) here right now, only mac.

but here are some pics/examples:
the original file (incl. sRGB profile, but size reduced in ps3):

(ok in safari, but "cold" in firefox 3)

here we have a jpg by "saving for web...", excl. ICC-profile!:
<http://www.clausinisland.de/images/b2222mm.jpg>
(colder colors, see the skin color, like the original in ff3)

one more:

left: jpg with profile in ff3
right: same pic in preview

hope this helps a little...

wonder, if others have not similar problems?!?!? what i am doing wrong?

thanks

Are you using a wide gamut monitor?

Hey claus, have a look at this thread:

<http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.eea0088>

[cl...@adobeforums.com]

hy. this is not the problem - the colors look different - one picture (same jpg) in browser ff, browser safari, ps, preview - at the moment, on the same display.
well... i think this is not problem, which is decribed in this thread...

[cl...@adobeforums.com]

have a mac book pro 17" (nov. 2007) and use no external monitor (profile in "monitor" is Color-LCD - dont know the correct english wording).

[v6v...@adobeforums.com]

Ok, sorry. Maybe Ramon or Buko would be kind enough to just post a link for you.

In a nutshell, including the sRGB profile is pointless unless the image is already in sRGB. Some browsers recognize the profile; some do not. Be safe and convert it to the profile. Optionally save the profile with the image in the SFW dialog.

...and the question about IE was a personal amusement that many on this forum are so concerned about color consistency - - yet they are not equipped to know what their work will look like on the most consistently used browser.

thaks for this link... i'll check this, hope to fine a solution for my problem.

think the pics look different on ie/win, too. and on the monitors (non tft/lcd)), and at night, or daylight,.... ohoho... wel, this is "ok", but to see the same jpp on one mbp at the same time with different colors is not nice ;-). takk

One other point:
Firefox is not Color Managed automatically — you have to set-it up that way for yourself by typing:

about:config
in the URL address bar [that is: about colon config]

and then go down the list to:

gfx.color_management.enabled

and set its value to = true

[cl...@adobeforums.com]

thanks for these infos conc activation the color management in ff.
but that not a solution for my problem, too. well, just here at my mac, but not for all the other user out there. i cant tell them "please, turn on ..." , then you will see warmer colors in my pic.

[Ann_She...@adobeforums.com]

No Claus you can't!

That is the unfortunate part about showing images on the Web.

But if you take the trouble to Convert your images to sRGB and embed those profiles, at least the people who know enough to be concerned about Color (and have calibrated monitors and use Safari or Firefox with CM enabled); will see your images as you intended.
