Thank you for your time. Here is where there is confusion... What happens here is that your files don't have an embedded color profile. Even if you embed the profile when exporting, many sites subsequently strip the profile. Many sites? or many browsers? Firefox is color managed as long as there is an embedded profile. At default settings, Firefox does not color manage files without an embedded profile. However, there is a setting you can enable that assigns sRGB to all untagged material. This allows the color management chain to operate again. It's known as "mode 1" as opposed to the default "mode 2". Here is what doesn't make sense- I edit on a calibrated monitor in PS, I save for Web - Convert to sRGB and embed profile. The image looks perfect when opened in OSX preview, Safari and even if I send them out to a print shop that prints in the sRGB color space. They all look exactly as they did in photoshop. The only place they look different is in Firefox. Without changing the firefox settings, is there something I am missing up to this point? This simple setting in Firefox allows full color management in all scenarios. This is why Firefox is an excellent browser to use with wide gamut monitors - it will always display absolutely correctly, identical to Photoshop at all times. I have a wide gamut monitor but I have not experienced absolute correctness at all. Now, Photoshop. What you have just done is to disable Photoshop's color management completely. So yes, it will match a non-color managed web browser - but it's all wrong, and completely unnecessary. Why is it wrong and unncessary? In what situation would this create an actual problem? Please give me one example. Set Photoshop's Color Settings back to defaults. Set working RGB to a standard color space like sRGB or Adobe RGB, and set color management policies to "Preserve Embedded Profiles". This whole situation is very easily put right. Of course, you do need to have a good monitor profile - which is, one that accurately describes your monitor's actual, current response. A calibrator will give you that. Here's how you set Firefox to Mode 1. Type "about:config" in the address bar and refresh: I really appreciate you helping with this. I still see no evidence or reasonable situation where "my method" would cause problems except for someone using a really old computer or web browser?? The only issue I see and don't see a solution for is the color shifting in my images in Firefox. I will try changing the color management modes. The problem is that even if this does fix the problem, that most regular people will not have this setup properly on their computers before viewing my website which brings us back to the original color shift problem. Am I really the only photographer experiencing this? Thanks again!
