Firefox 3 supports Color Management * - 07-12-2008, 02:37 AM


* with a tweak....

Found this on another site and tested. It works.

---------------------------

Finally we have a second browser that supports colour management (safari was the first).

To turn on color management under Firefox 3:
- Enter the following text in the address bar: about:config
- Next enter the following into the filter line: color_management
- Change gfx.color_management.enabled to: true

Restart Firefox to activate this change and enjoy your colour managed web browsing!

You may want to check your new profiled browser at
http://www.color.org/version4html.xalter

So maybe soon we no longer need to save our web files in sRGB.


----------------------

Update:

If you go into the colour management settings agin in FF3 you'll see another entry

gfx.color_management.display_profile

This is a string type variable rather than a boolean. By default it's empty and uses sRGB for display profile. IF you have profiled your monitor you can give it the full path name of your monitor profile eg for windows XP users

C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color\MYPROFILE. icc(icm)

Restart and it should now use your monitor profile correctly too. Naturally the other setting in the first post needs to be set as well.

Yes, this is good. However, not everyone uses FF, and there are still plenty of IE users so I would still save as sRGB to be on the safe side.
