  • Finally, Color Managed Web Browsers!

    In the beginning, the internet was void of color management, and it was bad. Very bad.

    Then there was Safari, and a few other browsers, and they tried their best but only made things more complicated and confusing.

    Soon there will be Firefox 3, and it will have color management, and it will be good. Very good. You should download it, my friends. No more IE, no more Safari.

    To read more and download Firefox 3 while it’s still in beta testing, go here:

    To read how to turn on color management, go here:

    LOL! The beta has some pretty powerful, complex stuff going on behind the scenes, and for now you have to delve into it to turn on the color management, but I’m assuming they’ll work it into a more user-friendly preferences menu before the final release…

    I am extremely excited because I can finally view my images online PERFECTLY IDENTICAL to how I viewed them in Photoshop! Huzzah!

    In a few year’s time, sRGB may no longer be the “universal” internet color… Now if only my labs of choice would allow adobe RGB and prophoto RGB, my life would become immeasurably easier!
