Im having trouble with colour profiles.

If you look at the attached image

http://www.marcelbooth.co.uk/m/misc/screen0606_46.jpg

This is a screenshot of the same image in 3 locations.
Youll notice in Photoshop (top right) it looks fine.
In the Vista picture viewer, it looks a little washed out, but I can deal with that.
In firefox though, theyve turned orange..lol

The thing is, my monitor is calibrated, running the profile I created.
Photoshop is normally set to AdobeRGB, and the images are usually converted to sRGB before being saved as a JPEG for websize (originals stay in Adobe).
Here, I've reopened the web version in photoshop, in sRGB, for consistency.

So, we have the three images

Colour calibrated monitor.
Vista viewer (Colourspace : Whatever it uses, I assume the windows profiled monitor one?)
Photoshop : sRGB
Firefox : sRGB isnt it?

File itself, sRGB.

so whats goin on chaps? Any ideas?
 
I'd guess:

Photoshop is reading the monitor profile and colour managing.

Vista is reading the profile and colour managing in a different way.

Firefox is doing naff all but it depends which version you're running. V3 has colour management but is turned off by default. If it's on it might be broken as it's a beta release.
 
I have the same problem with my calibrated pc monitor and laptop with windows xp pro.

When I open pics in photoshop, they look ok. When i open pics in windows viewer, they look desaturated/washed out. Same applies when printing the pics. Nice when using photoshop but washed out when using windows viewer.
 
Isn't it because Windows Photo Gallery makes it look like it has a higher contrast and sort of over-cooked?

Tony :thumbs:
 
Im running Firefox v3 btw but IE8(IN IE7 emulation mode) looks exactly the same as FF3 (RC2)
 
Have you turned on colour management in FF3?
 
I have now :) Will have a looksee at the difference.
 
Well since restarting FF3 with colour management enabled, it looks fine :thumbs:

The problem is, how do I get the rest of the world to see colour managed images? :D
