| Firefox is colour blind |
[Dec. 23rd, 2008|07:45 pm] |
Firefox is rubbish at dealing with photos. It manages even to get images in the supposedly dumb and bulletproof generic RGB colour profile wrong.
Now, Firefox 3 was supposed to support colour management, but can't (yet?) be controlled from the preferences. But someone made a tiny add-on that sets up all the about:config variables.
So, if you use Firefox, and care at all about the colours of the photos you're looking at, you may want to install this add-on. It does make a huge difference to many photos. Go on, it's only a couple of clicks.
(Of course, assuming that you're using an OS that supports colour management in the first place. It's enough to make one despair about this electronic age, and to long for paper proofs.) |
