Get your colors straight!

This just in: The brand new Firefox 3.0 supports ICC Profiles!

As you may or may not know, electronic images have embedded meta data (called ICC-Profiles), which are used to properly display the colors on your screen the way the photographer intendend them to be. Photoshop and other software have been utilizing this for a long time. Not so much with internet browsers, which are the platform most images are viewed by the public today. 

So up until now what you saw on your screen was an approximation - at best - how an image was supposed to look. Check Rob Galbraith’s page here to find out how to use this feature!

Firefox V3.0 can be obtained here (for free)!

Go get it!

And: If you want to learn more about ICC-Profiling and color management, there’s a nice explanation about it to be found over at Pixsylated.

Propellerman: A new Star is born

I just stumbled upon this little gem: Propellerman - Superhero of female desires!

Here’s a little excerpt of his bio:

When I was a young man, I couldn’t take my life anymore, so I escaped civilisation by travelling through the Amazon rain forest in order to find my true self. After months of travelling, I met the amazing people of the Yawanawá tribe, who have never seen a person of the modern world before. The tribe took me on like I was part of the family and I lived with them for over 6 years. During this time I was introduced to the Yawanawá’s rituals and developed a great passion for their medical skills. The tribe’s shaman shared his extensive knowledge and secrets about the local botany with me and showed me how to create herbal drugs to enhance my mental and physical state. At one of the tribe’s rituals a special mixture gave me the unique ability to rotate my best piece like a propeller. I finally found my true self! Now I am PROPELLERMAN - the Superhero of female desires!

Apart from making big buck movies he also models for various internationally acclaimed photographers. Here’s a behind the scenes from a recent shoot:

Check out his Blog or Website! It’s worth it :-)
I’ll dedicate my day to try and arrange a shooting with Propellerman. Wouldn’t wanna miss him in my portfolio! Would you?

Awesome!
