Yikes! I would hate to think that people are looking at my work and seeing sh__! It's an important issue Misha, and one that most people don't think about I'm sure. It's also a pain in the butt to deal with...I always have a hell of a time when I calibrate, cause I'm never sure what others are seeing on their end. It's also important if you print images to have your monitor and printer calibrated as closely as possible as well. This way what you see on the monitor is what you will get in print too. Not sure about embedding ICC profiles...it would seem to me that you would have to download the image and open it in Photoshop or some other program in order for that to work? I don't see how it would work if you were simply going to be viewing them online. I know I have opened images that have embedded Nikon ICC profiles and PS always asks me if that is the color profile I want to use when viewing them.

I am, therefore I create.......
