Well, I love a good sunset as much as the next person, so when I saw this last night, I had to run out with the D70s and see what I could see....

Nikon D70s, 1/40, f/7.1, ISO800

Okay... something funky's happening with the colour here...

Hmmmm.. Safari displays the colours differently to firefox....

Can help you with that one...

Safari supports multiple colour spaces - it does this by accessing the ColorSync libraries as part of OS X.
So... Safari can correctly display both sRGB and AdobeRGB colourspaces.

If you were shooting in RAW (and most likely as AdobeRGB or other variant), and then opened the image in photoshop, edited, then saved (either via save as or save for web) the colourspace has been preserved as say AdobeRGB.

Firefox on the other hand will display images as sRGB - you'll notice this as a huge desaturation of your carefully processed images.

To avert this, before "Saving As" or "Save for Web" select
Image menu -> Mode -> Convert to Profile

The dialog box will says something like:
Source Space: Adobe RGB (1998)
Destination Space: Working RGB sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Engine: Adobe (ACE)
Intent: Perceptual
(selected) Use Black Point Compensation

Now save your JPEG out again, and test it in Safari and Firefox. Both should look as close as they're going to get

Thanks Daniel - That's similar to other advice I'd found online in the meantime.. Weird one is that it doesn't seem to work too well converting to sRGB, but seems to work if I convert to my monitor's profile!

I'd appreciate it if anyone reading this thread could let me know what browser they are using, and if they spot any colour differences between the two images posted here

Their is a lot more fire in the sky in #2 (firefox ) LOZ

Number 2 is heaps better in firefox, I like the clouds it gives a nice effect.

The coulour in #2 is a lot richer in IE.

Hmm, that's weird. The first picture looks identical in Firefox and Safari. The second one looks identical to the first in Safari, but much more saturated in Firefox.

Riddle me that...

Firefox 1.5.0.1
Safari 2.0.3
