If I look at the picture here in Safari, Preview or the finder, the shades of blue are significantly different than if I look at the picture in Google Chrome (they are less saturated than in Chrome).
Since I am a photographer and need to prepare pictures for publication online, I need to know what a jpeg should really look like, in order to color-correct it.
I have an excellent Eizo monitor that is correctly calibrated.
If I open the same image in Photoshop CS3, I get the Chrome colors if I use Monitor RGB under view >> proof setup, and I get the Safari colors if I use Macintosh RGB.
Can anyone explain the difference between these two settings, and the difference between Safari and Chrome? Which colors are correct?
Photos that I prepared under Windows (during the past five years) now seem washed out in the Apple Finder and Preview, even though I had correctly prepared them.
Is there a setting on the Macintosh for color calibration, besides the monitor calibration control panel?
Update: I tried saving the same image from Photoshop after assigning a different profile, and the two images display differently in the Finder. So my guess is that all the Apple software uses embedded profiles, whereas Chrome just ignores them. – Andrew Swift – 2011-01-05T21:53:54.073
Is there something wrong with my answer? As I understand it, you found out the same thing shortly after I posted it..? – Daniel Beck – 2011-01-07T05:36:48.670
Your answer is correct, and it was a help. I'm sorry for not coming back sooner. I didn't mark it correct because I wanted to post a more complete answer myself. – Andrew Swift – 2011-06-16T09:10:44.203
