[Alex's Ramblings] A solution to Mac “Save For Web” colour discrepancies - Alex's ...: This setting is a de facto standard shared by TV, scanners, digital cameras and the vast majority of computers on the Internet - which are not colour managed. This is why graphics on Windows appear darker and with more contrast than on the Mac.

[WDL - Web Design News] Adjusting the Monitor Display | Photoshop Basics: Although the RGB color model used by computer monitors can display much of the visible spectrum, the video system sending data to a given monitor often limits how many colors can be displayed at once. By understanding how color data is measured in digital files and on-screen, you can better adjust color display settings to offset the limitations of your video system.

[Usability Post] How to Use Photoshop Color Profiles for Web Images « Usability Post: People will still see the colors slightly differently across many devices and operating systems (for example, default OS X gamma differs to the standard Windows PC gamma, so images are a little brighter ”” if you are working on a Mac it is advised to set your gamma level to 2.2) but the output will still be consistent with your working space and will be ready for modern browsers that do use embedded color profiles.

[Speed Tweak of the Week] Replace GIF with PNG Images - portable network graphics images ...: Interlaced PNGs can also be recognized after about only 25% of the file has downloaded, as opposed to GIFs which require about 50% of the file to be downloaded before recognition (8). Although there are some rare exceptions, replacing your GIFs with PNGs will significantly reduce the size of your images.

[jwz] jwz - photography workflow, photoshop, and gamma: One thing I really like to do now is put stuff in the EXIF/XMP metadata (embedding a creative commons license and various info about the photo), so that when I put it on Flickr all that stuff is available both on their web interface and in the image itself. The metadata gets stripped out when you "save for web" but if you take the extra step of sending it to ImageReady and then saving optimized with the metadata, you kinda get the best of both worlds.

[Jason Santa Maria: Articles] Jason Santa Maria | Gamma Gamma Hey!: I did a little web research recently and discovered I wasn’t the only one who suspected this whole color profile nonsense was likely created by some soused Freemasons looking for a way to make it near impossible for non-Mensa members of society to figure out why images that are perfectly fine on my monitor look darker than midnight inside a badger’s ass when saved for the web:

[WebmasterWorld] Monitor Calibration: Although it's apples and oranges in reference to web applications (all things being RGB,) the core result is the same - You will never arrive at a perfect solution. Add one element to any "perfect" calibration: Color is subjective.

[KingPin's Forum] Learning To Use Adobe Image Ready In A Single Day Tut - KingPin's ...: Usually, we're restricted to the paltry 216 colors of the browser-safe palette since other colors don't tend to dither that smoothly. If you need to fill a solid shape with a particular color that isn't in the Web palette, use the Ditherbox filter.

[Professional Photography - All Comments] Color Management in Web Browsers - Professional Photography: All of the displays in our studio (5 Macs and 2 Windows) are all calibrated with a spectrophotometer to the same settings - D65 (6500° Kelvin), Gamma 2.2, and 130 cd/m2 Luminance. When we share files and view the displays under similar .

[evolt.org - Visual Design] To PNG or not to PNG | evolt.org: Image compress to a few more bytes than they do in the GIMP probably because Fireworks adds a resource fork in Mac OS X. Gamma correction appears to be roughly the same in Mac OS X browsers (succeeds in Mozilla, fails in Safari) except .

[Recent Posts at Lightstalkers] jpeg optimization for the web | Lightstalkers: There’s a downside, though: the only way to add more pixels without increasing the screen’s physical size is to make each pixel smaller, and because of the way the Mac currently draws to the screen, all text, graphics, icons, menus, and everything else are correspondingly smaller. As a result, the screen’s desktop looks more compressed than on any previous Mac.

[Viget Inspire : The Design Lab] The Mysterious “Save For Web” Color Shift | Viget Inspire: I guess I’m saying that since I browse the internet all day on my monitor, that if I decide I want my green to be slightly darker than the green I see on another site, I should be able to a) make a slightly darker shade in Photoshop b) export it and see, in the browser, that it is slightly darker but in other ways identical. Working without color profiles makes this possible with any monitor, but working with them requires that my monitor be very precisely calibrated (something, I confess, it probably is not) to achieve this.

[The Photoshop Blog] Add Complex Light to Photoshop Images | The Photoshop Blog ...: Plugins for Photoshop allow you to either do something that you cannot do with the features included in Photoshop or they allow you to do something easier, faster or better than you could do in Photoshop without the plug-in. Whether it is color correction, resizing, masking or creating an effect, you can find a Photoshop plug-in that can help you be more efficient with your time.

[mezzoblue] mezzoblue § IE7: Details: Now, if a browser does gamma correction on a proper PNG, every thing will be fine (since “all” browsers do gamma correction on css colours and such), but since some browsers don’t do gamma correction on PNG images (looking at you Safari/WebKit), and (arguably) the most popular image editing software suite can’t output PNG images correctly, and it gets annoying.

[John Nack on Adobe] John Nack on Adobe: CS4: Sweating the Details: After testing it a few months ago the pixel grid was awesome for pixel work, but if I needed to zoom in and paint something (without the necessity to have precise pixel work) with a bit of detail the pixel grid got in the way. Well many announced features were missing from it, so I didn't know if it was planned or not.
