There's a sunset happening in my backyard!!!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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....

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 :)

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

Cheers
Steffen.
