I've always been under the impression that you can't have color management inside your browser, which has always been one of the major factors for why stuff looks different on everybody's monitor. Well, now I find out that you can do it. Don't know what other browsers this works on, but it works on IE 4 and later. So, now I'm going to try it out and see. I'll post the same photo twice. The first one will be through the normal image attachment, the second will be the "color managed" version. Lets see if there is a difference. :)

Well, The second one is so dark in IE5 that it doesn't show at all for me! But in Netscape 7 it looks the same as the first. hmmmm

Michael - Wonder if it's like that because you don't have the sRGB colorspace profile or if it's just another piece of wonderful Microsoft code that doesn't work? The HTML tag is called colorinfo. It's supposed to work like this ... you add this tag: the x in "Intent" can be: 0 - For images (photos, etc.) 1 - Used for graphic designs and named colors 2 - USed for business charts the sRGB can actually point to a colorspace file on the HD. The big, stupid part of all this is that the tag doesn't pull the profile from the image file (which would make sure that the colorspace would always be available, even if the person doesn't have it); it pulls it from the users system. So, if they don't have the colorspace file it doesn't work. -=>Donald

I can see a difference! The first one the skin is yellowish and one the second one it is more redish and the other colors are a bit more saturated and deeper. The skin tone appears to be slightly off on both versions though. I have a Sony Trinitron monitor.

Ooops.. I forgot that the tag above would read as HTML ... the tag is as follows, just add the greater-than/less-than around it: img style="filter: ColorInfo(ColorSpace=sRGB, Intent=x)" src=imagefile.ext the x in "Intent" can be: 0 - For images (photos, etc.) 1 - Used for graphic designs and named colors 2 - USed for business charts If you want to use another colorspace file, you replace sRGB with the filename on the HD (but if the user doesn't have that colorspace on his drive it won't work).
