I created an export sRGB Jpeg with Ligthroom I exported another sRGB Jpeg with Photoshop. I then opened both images on another computer with internet explored (non ICC aware app). The PS Jpeg is MUCH better and truer. The LR Jpeg is darker and redder. Please repeat this experiment to see it it holds true. thanks, Eric On 4/27/07, Eric Korenman <faneuil@gmail.com> wrote: > > Solution: Buy everyone in the world a Spyder. > > ! > > Eric > > > On 4/27/07, G Hopkinson <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> wrote: > > > > Eric, regarding your monitors, I meant that while they would very likely > > only work within the sRGB colour space, they may not > > necessarily be able to display all of it.
