[Leica] Rudely awakened by color management

[john.nebel at csdco.com (John Nebel)]

This is probably old hat to many or most.

When I was testing clickable "where's Waldo" pictures of the Boulder Mall,
they looked horrible in Firefox 3.0.x on a PC, but fine on Firefox 3.6 on a 
Mac.

This was after using ProPhoto RGB (the default?) in Lightroom which carried 
through to the web images; Adobe 1998 had not been as bad.

The solution was simple for Firefox, use the URL about:config and turn on the
optional gfx.color_management_enabled switch on Firefox 3.0.x.  The later
Firefox which was running on the Mac had color management enabled by default.

has examples of Firefox vs Photoshop.  More on:

I can't figure out how to make Explorer behave, so one must use sRGB or be 
out 
of luck there?

Safari does use color management on both platforms.
