Just pulled this from Tim Grey's email blog...
"[Regarding a prior DDQ email about color management in web browsers] Firefox 3 does have color management built in, but it comes turned off by default. Here's an article about it that shows how to turn it on:

"You're absolutely correct. I tested Firefox to see if it was indeed respecting embedded colors, and found that it didn't. But as several DDQ readers let me know, version 3 of Firefox does indeed support color management -- it is simply turned off by default. The logic for this is that the browser performs a little faster if it doesn't have to translate embedded ICC profiles. Not ideal from the perspective of visitors to your site seeing your photos accurately without having to adjust settings for their browser, but at least the support is there. Hopefully with time more browsers will add this support (it is still missing from Internet Explorer), and users will become more savvy about the subject."

Not 100% sure what this post is about, or what Dams thinks about this..something to do with colour management in web browsers..I think.

Yes, it is about colour management in your web browser. If I went to your website to view your images, if I had colour management turned on, and if you had embedded colour profiles in your images, then I would see the colours in your images the way you do. A lot 'ifs' but the first two involve me. When you prepare images for the web (e.g., save for web in PS) there is an option to embed colour profiles.
